Since the beginning of the 13th Congress term, planning work has been focused on investment, accelerated implementation, and made many strides; the work of establishing, adjusting, and organizing the implementation of national planning, regional planning, and planning for provinces and cities in the region has been accelerated (110/111 plans have been established, appraised, and approved).
The Prime Minister pointed out that planning has a guiding and orienting role, helping to develop in the right direction, quickly, sustainably, comprehensively, with layers and corridors; helping to exploit and effectively use resources, including land, water, underground space, and connection with other spaces.
Planning must have innovative, breakthrough thinking, strategic vision, overall, inclusive, comprehensive, both short-term and long-term. Planning must be one step ahead, must ensure order, system, science, and effective implementation step by step.
Only with good consultants can there be good planning, only with good planning can there be good projects, only with good projects can there be good investment and efficiency.
Planning work must closely follow the Party's guidelines and policies and the State's laws; closely follow the practical situation of the locality, region, area, and the world, especially the distinct potential, outstanding opportunities, and competitive advantages of the locality; what is ripe, clear, proven correct by practice, and agreed upon by the majority must be included in the planning; closely follow the needs and aspirations of the people and businesses in the development of the province and region.
At the same time, focus on three important factors of the main ideology in planning work: (1) Always put people at the center, the subject and resources, the driving force; do not sacrifice fairness, social progress, the environment in exchange for simple growth; (2) Identify resources originating from thinking, motivation originating from innovation, strength originating from businesses and people. Renewing old motivations, exploiting new resources in a breakthrough way; (3) Consistent with development trends, especially new development trends of industries, fields, regions, countries, and the world.

The Prime Minister also pointed out the tasks that planning work needs to focus on: Finding and promoting the development of distinct potentials, outstanding opportunities, competitive advantages (effectively exploiting, attracting resources for rapid and sustainable development); detecting and pointing out contradictions, shortcomings, limitations, difficulties, challenges... to propose solutions to resolve and overcome; building a list of projects and programs to attract investment, promote trade, promote socio-economic development; mobilizing resources for implementation (State, society, public-private partnership, FDI...); organizing implementation scientifically, effectively, with focus, key points, and appropriate priorities; regularly monitoring and supervising; not being perfectionist, not being hasty, finishing one thing at a time.
Land of talented people, unique and rich culture
The Prime Minister affirmed that Ninh Binh has many potentials and advantages, being the southernmost province of the Red River Delta, with an important strategic position in terms of politics, economy, national defense and security; the intersection between three regions (Red River Delta - Northwest mountainous region and North Central Coast region).
The province is a land of "geomancy and talent", with many unique and distinctive cultural - historical - natural ecological values: Hoa Lu Ancient Capital with its massive, distinctive and rich historical - cultural heritage, containing unique values; is one of 8 provinces and cities with World Heritage and is the only locality in Vietnam and Southeast Asia to possess mixed cultural and natural heritage - Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, Cuc Phuong National Park..., many diverse traditional crafts.
Ninh Binh is also one of the three largest and most modern automobile mechanical industrial centers in the country; a leading fruit and vegetable processing center in Vietnam.
The province's services have developed strongly, with tourism becoming a bright spot, for many consecutive years maintaining its position in the top 15 destinations and 10 provinces attracting the highest number of visitors nationwide, gradually becoming a national and international tourist center.
Ninh Binh is the hometown of many famous Vietnamese people such as: National Hero Dinh Bo Linh, King Le Dai Hanh, Cultural Celebrity Truong Han Sieu, National Teacher Nguyen Minh Khong, Trang Bong Vu Duy Thanh, Hero Luong Van Tuy, Historian Ninh Ton,...
According to the Prime Minister, the Provincial Planning has opened up new directions, visions and development spaces, creating new momentum and values for Ninh Binh.
In recent times, the province has achieved many important results in socio-economic development. In 2023, the provincial economy will maintain development, with an estimated GRDP growth rate of 7.27%, ranking 8th in the Red River Delta and 22nd nationwide; in the first quarter of 2024, it will continue to increase at 8.02%. From 2022, Ninh Binh province will be self-sufficient in budget (ranked 26/63 in 2023, estimated at 16,144 billion VND); exports will rank 23/63.

Attention has been paid to investment and upgrading of socio-economic infrastructure, especially transport infrastructure.

The development of digital economy, green economy, circular economy, sharing economy... needs more investment. Site clearance and implementation of some projects are still slow. The political security, order and social safety situation is still potentially complicated...

"Land, forests, heritages and assets are still intact, still belong to the State and the people, but they are preserved, promoted and exploited most effectively," said the Prime Minister. In fact, Ninh Binh has "turned nothing into something, turned difficult into easy, turned impossible into possible" in promoting cultural and historical traditions, exploiting heritages, typically in developing Trang An Scenic Landscape Complex, which needs to be further summarized and expanded.

The Prime Minister requested the Provincial People's Committee to boldly submit to the Provincial People's Council for consideration and decision on matters within its authority in the spirit of "open policies, smooth infrastructure, and smart governance".

The implementation of the planning is an important, long-term task, with many advantages and difficulties. However, the Prime Minister believes that, with the historical and cultural traditions, will, aspirations, pride and self-respect of the ancient capital, together with the spirit of solidarity, dynamism and creativity of the entire Party Committee, government and people of Ninh Binh province, with the achievements and continued new development momentum in recent years, with the joint efforts, consensus, great efforts and high determination of the entire provincial political system, the support and close coordination of central ministries and branches, the participation of investors and enterprises, the support of international friends, the trust and support of the people, Ninh Binh province will develop rapidly, sustainably, rise strongly, become a growth pole of the southern provinces of the Red River Delta, towards becoming a civilized, modern, smart city directly under the Central Government, with its own identity, on par with the millennium heritage cities in the world.
