Determined to successfully achieve the set goals and tasks

Half of the term of implementing the Resolution of the 14th Congress of the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Committee (term 2020 - 2025) has passed. The solidarity, unity, dynamism, creativity, and efforts with specific and practical actions have helped Binh Thuan achieve many remarkable steps forward, creating a diverse and prosperous economic picture, despite being heavily affected by the Covid - 19 pandemic.

Good results

At the beginning of the 2020-2025 term, along with the whole country, Binh Thuan had to face the severe impact of the Covid-19 pandemic. In the face of these difficulties, Binh Thuan has always been different in knowing how to promote the tradition of dynamism, creativity, daring to think, daring to do, thereby making timely and correct decisions. Binh Thuan has thoroughly grasped the direction of the Central and the Government on flexibility in fighting the pandemic and managing socio-economic development. Binh Thuan has also effectively implemented the spirit of turning "danger" into "opportunity", turning difficulties into development motivation, thereby achieving many important and relatively comprehensive results in the fields of socio-economy, national defense and security, creating initial changes in social life, contributing to the successful completion of the targets set by the Provincial Party Congress.

With strategic orientations, Binh Thuan's economic picture is increasingly bright when the average GRDP growth rate in the 2021-2023 period is estimated at 5.76%/year; the economic structure is shifting in the right direction. Economic sectors develop relatively evenly, some of the province's potential advantages are utilized and exploited better and better. Power projects are being accelerated, infrastructure of industrial parks and industrial clusters is being directed and implemented. Service - tourism industries are bustling again after the Covid-19 pandemic; the number of tourists and revenue from tourism activities have regained growth momentum, especially during holidays and Tet. Agricultural, forestry and fishery production has developed in the direction of gradually improving quality; some advantageous crops have also developed relatively stably. Implementing policies to support fishermen in exploiting seafood in far-off seas, policies to support the development of people's livelihoods, and socio-economic development in ethnic minority areas has made many efforts; the movement of joining hands to build new rural areas has been directed and implemented according to the set plan.

In addition, budget revenue is quite good, local budget expenditure has made great efforts; resources for development investment continue to be mobilized more, essential infrastructure systems are being invested in more, contributing to promoting local socio-economic development. The work of removing difficulties and obstacles, supporting enterprises and promoting and attracting investment has achieved increasingly greater mobilization results. Resources for development investment have increased gradually over the years. Activities in science and technology, health, education, culture, information and communication have made progress. Social security policies and care for people's lives have been fully and promptly implemented. People's lives have been continuously improved. National defense work has been strengthened, security has been maintained.

More determination

The 2020 - 2025 term has only gone halfway, but the initial results as mentioned above show that, although the initial goals set out in the context of all the difficulties surrounding it seem a bit heavy, the province is still persistent and consistent with its goals and strategic directions to grow the economy - society as well as constantly improve and enhance the material and spiritual life of the people with the right decisions.

Drawing on practical experience in leading and directing the implementation of the Resolution of the Binh Thuan Provincial Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term, the following lessons have been learned. That is, there must be timely leadership and direction from the National Assembly Chairman, the Government, the Prime Minister, and the Provincial Party Committee; always closely following the Party's policies, complying with legal regulations, putting the interests of the people first and foremost in direction and administration. Promoting the solidarity of the entire political system, the business community, and the people of the province; unanimity, consensus, taking difficulties and challenges as motivation to strive to rise up; mobilizing all resources, taking advantage of opportunities to promote socio-economic development.

Focus on implementing 3 breakthroughs throughout and effectively: Improving the quality of human resources, focusing on building a team of highly qualified, competent, ethical and responsible cadres; Increasing attraction and investment in building technical infrastructure, promoting research and application of scientific and technological advances; Promoting administrative procedure reform, creating a favorable investment and business environment. Continuing to restructure the economy towards sustainability. Promoting development cooperation, regional linkage, taking advantage of opportunities in the process of assigning tasks, cooperation and regional linkage for development. Prioritizing the development of 3 pillars, focusing on developing the marine economy. Balancing and harmonizing the development of the economy - society - environment for the goal of sustainable development. Paying attention to the science - technology factor, especially digital transformation. Taking care of the development of cultural and spiritual life for the people. Strengthening national defense - security, ensuring social order. Promote the role of heads of agencies and units, sense of responsibility, proactiveness and good coordination in handling work at the grassroots level; promote discipline, administrative discipline and close coordination between levels, sectors and agencies. Strengthen monitoring, urging and inspecting the implementation of assigned tasks to the final results. Regularly review, evaluate and improve the capacity of cadres and civil servants, especially leaders at all levels; reward and handle promptly and strictly. Any shortcomings and defects in leadership, direction and management must have someone responsible. It is necessary to step up the review and improvement of policies and legal regulations to meet practical requirements, create a legal corridor in performing tasks; strongly apply information technology in management, operation and socio-economic development.

The period of 2023-2025 is a very important period in promoting the implementation and striving to complete the goals of the 5-year socio-economic development plan 2021-2025. In order to strive to successfully implement the Resolution of the 14th Provincial Party Congress (term 2020-2025), all levels, sectors and localities need to continue to closely follow and seriously implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, resolutions and directions of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Central Party Secretariat, the National Assembly, the Government, the Prime Minister, the Resolution of the 14th Provincial Party Congress, 06 thematic Resolutions of the 14th Provincial Party Committee, Resolution No. 53/NQ-HDND dated December 4, 2020 of the Provincial People's Council on the socio-economic development plan, national defense and security for the period 2021-2025, Decision No. 71/QD-UBND dated January 8, 2021 of the Provincial People's Committee on promulgating the Action Program to implement the 5-year socio-economic development plan 2021 - 2025 and the annual socio-economic development plan.
