Convergence of elements of the Mekong Delta region
Speaking at the Conference, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that planning work in recent times has been implemented synchronously, methodically, and scientifically from the central to local levels in accordance with the Law on Planning; the work of establishing, appraising, and approving planning has basically been completed (109/111 plans).
The Prime Minister emphasized that planning plays a very important role, creating great opportunities, long-term impacts, and is an important driving force in the development of the country in general and of each locality in particular. Planning plays a leading role, orienting rapid, sustainable, and comprehensive development; planning must have a long-term, strategic vision, innovative thinking, and be one step ahead; helping to effectively exploit land, sea, and underground space.
In terms of viewpoints, planning closely follows the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's laws; closely follows the practical situation; closely follows the needs and aspirations of the people.
In terms of ideology, planning must take people as the center, subject, goal, resource, and driving force for development, without sacrificing progress and social justice to pursue mere economic growth; resources originate from thinking, driving force originates from innovation, strength originates from the people; planning must be consistent with the development trends of industries, fields, regions, the country, and the world.
The task of planning is to find potentials, opportunities, and advantages (effectively exploit and attract all necessary resources for rapid and sustainable development); identify conflicts, shortcomings, limitations, and challenges... to propose solutions to resolve and overcome them; build a list of projects to promote investment; mobilize resources for implementation; and organize scientific and effective implementation.
The Prime Minister noted that planning work should not be perfectionist or hasty; what is ripe, clear, proven to be correct in practice, effectively implemented, and agreed upon by the majority should be included in the planning. Once the planning has been developed and approved, it must be implemented well, closely following the planning; at the same time, people and things must always be put into movement, development, adjusted, and supplemented when necessary. The mobilization of provincial resources must be linked to regional resources, regional resources must be linked to national resources, and national resources must be linked to international resources.
In the overall picture of the region and the whole country, the planning of Tien Giang province has been prepared meticulously, systematically and scientifically; built on the basis of promoting distinct potentials, outstanding opportunities, competitive advantages, as well as overcoming shortcomings and limitations. The planning has provided viewpoints, visions, key development goals, development breakthroughs; development plans, solutions, and resources to implement the planning in the coming time.
In terms of potential and advantages, Tien Giang is a province in the Mekong Delta, so it converges the elements of the region as the "rice granary", "fruit granary" and "shrimp - fish granary" of the whole country, along with a rich and diverse ecosystem, peaceful river scenery, friendly and hospitable people, a heroic tradition of patriotism and unique cultural values of the river region...
Tien Giang, notably My Tho City, is one of the earliest urban areas in the Mekong Delta region with many advantages in natural conditions, geo-economic conditions "first near the market, second near the river, third near the road"; is a transit area for goods between the Mekong Delta provinces with Ho Chi Minh City and the whole country, has a convenient waterway and road transport system; has many potentials and advantages for socio-economic development, especially in marine economy, agriculture, tourism, services and trade...
The rich and diverse natural conditions of different ecological regions and the advantages of the river system, islands on rivers and seas, 32 km long coastline, historical and cultural relics, traditional craft villages, Dong Thap Muoi ecological zone... are advantages for the development of ecotourism and other types of tourism.
The province has abundant human resources, with a population of nearly 1.8 million people in 2023, ranking second in the Mekong Delta region.
Taking full advantage of the potentials and advantages, over the past time, the Party Committee, government and people of Tien Giang have strived and achieved positive results: Production and business have recovered positively (in 2023, the province's GRDP increased by 5.72%); the agricultural sector has increased quite well and higher than the same period; 100% of communes are recognized as new rural areas, ranked 1/13, export turnover increased by 32%, ranked 2/13 of provinces and cities in the Mekong Delta; the fields of culture, society, health, education and training have made much progress, people's lives have been improved; national defense - security and foreign affairs have been strengthened.
In addition, Tien Giang shares the same difficulties and challenges as the Mekong Delta: Climate change, landslides, subsidence and salinity are complicated; strategic infrastructure for transportation, society, health care and education is still limited; lack of high-quality human resources; large industrial centers for processing, manufacturing, and agricultural and aquatic product processing have not been formed; and regional and global production and supply chains have not been connected.
To make people's lives more and more prosperous, civilized and happy
The provincial planning has opened a new direction and development space for Tien Giang in the general picture of provinces and cities across the country. In agreement with the general goal set out in the Planning, the Prime Minister emphasized the goal of people increasingly having a prosperous, civilized, and happy life, each year better than the previous year.
The Prime Minister pointed out "1 focus, 2 enhancements, 3 accelerations" in implementing the Tien Giang Provincial Planning.
The core and central task is to mobilize and effectively use all legal resources to promote traditional growth drivers (investment, export, consumption) and make breakthroughs in new growth drivers such as green economy, digital economy, circular economy, sharing economy, knowledge economy, climate change response, and sustainable development.
The two enhancements are enhancing human factor development (improving people's knowledge, training high-quality human resources, nurturing talents, ensuring social security, leaving no one behind); enhancing regional, regional, domestic and international connectivity through the transportation system, production and supply chain.
The three priorities are to promote the development of synchronous and comprehensive strategic infrastructure (in terms of transportation, climate change response, digital infrastructure, healthcare, education, society, etc.); promote the development of industries serving agricultural processing and industries serving agriculture; promote the application of science and technology, innovation in production and business, create jobs, and stabilize and develop people's livelihoods.
According to the Prime Minister, the implementation of provincial planning is based on the country's solid foundation after nearly 40 years of renovation. Our country has never had such a foundation, potential, position and international prestige as today. This gives us confidence and hope in the development process. Although the global FDI trend is declining, Vietnam is still a bright spot in attracting FDI. The investment and business environment is constantly improving, with many indicators rising in global rankings.
Besides, the Prime Minister also noted that we must not be negligent or subjective because Vietnam is a developing country, the economy is in transition and the scale is still modest, the resilience to external shocks is still limited, it is necessary to clearly perceive and have solutions to overcome challenges and difficulties.
The Prime Minister recalled five valuable lessons of the Vietnamese revolution: (1) Firmly uphold the banner of national independence and socialism; (2) The revolutionary cause is of the people, by the people and for the people; (3) Strengthening solidarity within the Party, national solidarity, and international solidarity; (4) Combining national strength with the strength of the times, strength at home and abroad; (5) The Party's leadership role is the decisive factor.
Thanking and welcoming businesses and investors who have chosen Tien Giang as the place to carry out investment projects, the Prime Minister emphasized the spirit of "three together": "listening and understanding together", "sharing vision and action together", "working together, enjoying together, winning together and developing together". Tien Giang must create all favorable conditions for investors, reduce compliance costs, reduce logistics costs... for businesses.
The Prime Minister requested that enterprises build long-term and sustainable business strategies, properly implement investment commitments and cooperation agreements; properly orient and prioritize according to planning; pioneer in innovation, green and digital transformation, technology transfer, improve business management capacity, pay attention to human resource training and contribute ideas to perfect regulations, mechanisms and policies. Conduct business and invest in accordance with the law, strictly implement business culture and social responsibility, ensure regimes and policies for employees, actively contribute to ensuring social security.
The Prime Minister requested relevant ministries and branches to effectively implement the Party's guidelines and policies, the State's policies and laws, and the direction of the Government and the Prime Minister; create a favorable investment and business environment with the motto "Taking people and enterprises as the center, the subject and the goal and driving force of development"; promptly and effectively resolve recommendations and proposals from the province and people and enterprises; promptly complete relevant legal regulations and policies. Central ministries and branches must closely coordinate, remove obstacles and difficulties, strengthen decentralization, improve implementation capacity at all levels, strengthen inspection and supervision; and avoid the "ask-give" mechanism that can easily lead to negativity.
The Prime Minister requested the business community, investors, ministries, branches and leaders at all levels of Tien Giang province: If you say something, you must do it; if you commit, you must carry it out; if you carry it out, you must have real results, be able to weigh, measure, count and quantify them, creating new momentum, new motivation, new confidence and new victories for Tien Giang province.
For the people, the province must disseminate and thoroughly implement the planning so that people can understand and grasp it through many different forms, thereby supporting the planning, following the planning, supervising the implementation of the planning and benefiting from it with the spirit of "People know - People understand - People believe - People follow - People do - People benefit"./.
