Nghe An (VNA)🌄 – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has underscored the need for the central province of Nghe An to change its thinking about socio-economic development and optimise its strength to grow further.
The Prime Minister made the request at a meeting with the provincial leaders on August 15 to review the province’s socio-economic development over the past seven months as well as its three-year implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW, which outlines development orientations for the locality by 2020.
Nghe An should continuously diversify its development model and resources, especially from the private economic sector, he said.
Notably, economic development must be paired with environmental protection, he reminded, citing the recent environmental incident relating to Formosa Ha Tinh Steel Co Ltd as a lesson in this regard.
To that end, the PM asked the provincial Party Committee to raise the capacity and virtue of local officials and Party members.
The province was also requested to seek more sustainable and comprehensive measures in an effort to become a centre of the country’s north central region.
PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc praised Nghe An’s achievements in building new-style rural areas, and maintaining political security, social order and safety over the past time.
He, however, pointed to the province’s limitations in effectuating the resolution such as low per-capital income, high poverty rate and weak competitiveness.
Nghe An has failed to create major breakthroughs in socio-economic development, he noted.
Leaders of ministries and agencies suggested Nghe An generate more jobs for local labourers, especially in education and health care, and prioritise investments in infrastructure, especially seaports and airports.
The same day, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc and his entourage visited Nam Giang, a new-style commune in Nam Dan district, where he urged efforts to restructure local agricultural production.
While in Nghe An, the PM inspected the construction of the Vietnam-Singapore Industrial Park (VSIP Nghe An), which began in September last year and is expected to create a big breakthrough for the provincial industrial development, and visited the Vissai seaport project.
He asked the investors to ensure the quality and progress of the projects to soon put them into operation, helping boost socio-economic development of the locality and the region at large.-VNA

State President Luong Cuong’s trip once again reaffirmed the Party and State’s foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation of relations.

The visits reflected the elevated position of Vietnam’s foreign policy in the new era—aimed at not only advancing ties with key regional partners like Egypt and Angola but also delivering a strategic message about Vietnam’s commitment to deepening relations with African nations as a whole.
At their talks and meetings, President Cuong and Angola’s top leaders affirmed that the close brotherhood and traditional friendship are a valuable shared asset and a solid foundation for the two nations to advance into a new phase of development.
The ruling People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) attaches great importance to the friendship, solidarity, and comradeship with the Communist Party of Vietnam, and voiced her Party’s wish to further deepen and expand relations between the two sides for the benefit of the Vietnamese and Angolan people.
Vietnam pledges to do its utmost to build an ASEAN of solidarity, consensus, and unity in diversity, and to foster a fast and sustainable development path for ASEAN, grounded in science, technology, and innovation, said Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh.
Party General Secretary To Lam called on the criminal police force to accelerate the application of science, technology, artificial intelligence, and digital transformation in criminal investigation tasks such as crime prevention, detection, tracking and verification, ensuring that no area remains out of their reach.
Many Koreans living, studying, and working in Hanoi see the upcoming state visit to the Republic of Korea (RoK) by Party General Secretary To Lam as an opportunity to generate strong synergy in economic cooperation, people-to-people exchanges, and cultural understanding.
The achievements of the five decades of Vietnam–Angola cooperation provide a strong and enduring foundation, as well as momentum for the two sides to consolidate, expand, and bring their partnership into a new phase of development.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stressed that the emulation and commendation work is a vital driver, fostering patriotism, dedication, and collective momentum in the run-up to the 11th National Patriotic Emulation Congress, Party congresses at all levels, and the 14th National Party Congress.
