Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung gave specific directions to develop the central province of Nghe An into a basically industrialised locality by 2020 during a working session with its authorities on September 16.
Strategically positioned as a gateway to Laos , Thailand and Cambodia and a north-south economic and cultural linkage, Nghe An boasts a vast area and plentiful natural and human resources.
Nghe An economy expanded by 7.24 percent last year and is expected to hit 8-9 percent this year, with the income per capita doubling to 29 million VND (1,300 USD) from 2012.
The PM asked the province to accelerate administrative reform and improve business climate while promoting trade and tourism, especially expanding export markets.
Economic restructuring should be a priority in order to lure capital inflows into industries, including those with high added value and labour demand, he said.
The province was also required to operate the Vietnam-Singapore industrial park in accordance with set regulations, as part of efforts to reel in capital and generate jobs.
The leader suggested building educational and health care development facilities, cut the rate of poor households to below the national average, and develop agriculture in tandem with new-style rural construction with more incentives being provided for effective agro-forestry-fisheries models.
As the provincial Party Congress is approaching, he asked for thorough preparations to elect a contingent of qualified leaders, towards becoming a model province as expected by the late President Ho Chi Minh.
Together with leaders of ministries and agencies, he gave opinions on several transport infrastructure, urban and industrial park projects.

Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.

Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.

Addressing concerns over university education spending, Son explained that as public universities gain greater autonomy, the Ministry of Finance has scaled back recurrent state funding. “Over the past decade, as autonomy has increased, the State's support has steadily declined”, he noted
Lao Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane affirmed that the presence of Vietnamese press offices in Laos vividly demonstrates the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between the two nations, as the press is not only a means of communication but also an important bridge for spreading consciousness about the history, values, and strategic depth of the Laos – Vietnam relationship to the people of both countries and the international community.
