The province continues the consistent, prompt and effective enforcement of resolutions and directions on socioeconomic development and budget targets in 2024 of the Government, the Prime Minister, the Provincial Party Committee, the Standing Board of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Council.

Phu Yen aims to focus resources on restoring and promoting rapid, comprehensive and sustainable economic development

The Phu Yen Provincial Master Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, and the revised Nam Phu Yen Economic Zone Construction Master Plan to 2040 were approved by the Prime Minister. How will the province effectively carry out these plans to entice investors?

We determine that the effective implementation of the Phu Yen Provincial Master Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, and the revised Nam Phu Yen Economic Zone Construction Master Plan to 2040 to attract more investors are key tasks to open up opportunities and create rapid and sustainable development. To do this, the province will focus on carrying out the following solutions:

First, the province will boost the information and communication of core contents of these plans to all levels, sectors, business communities and people of all walks of life, to have unified awareness, high determination, great effort and drastic actions to carry out them.

In addition, we will focus on building a plan for consistent but flexible implementation of these plans. At the same time, we will concentrate on planning management, conduct prompt reviews and adjust specialized plans.

Second, Phu Yen will make drastic efforts in administrative reforms, improve the business investment environment, ensure consistency, openness, transparency in activities, and gradually elevate the performance of the province’s PCI, PAPI, PAR and SIPAS indices to the best in the country.

Third, we will reform active investment promotion, seek and invite large, strategic domestic and foreign investors to introduce and advertise the local investment environment, potential and advantages to them. This move will help them actively approach and research investment instead of passively waiting for investors. The province is committed to assisting investors in researching and carrying out projects and creating the most favorable investment and business policies.

In early 2024, the province held a conference to announce its Provincial Planning and Investment Promotion in 2024 to introduce its planning contents as well as local potential advantages to domestic and foreign investors to draw strategic investment projects.

Fourth, we will focus on investing in infrastructure construction and prioritizing investment resources for key projects to open up the development space. In the near term, we will invest in completing coastal roads, upgrading and expanding Tuy Hoa Airport, Nguyen Huu Tho Road that links to Eastern North-South Expressway and infrastructure development in Nam Phu Yen Economic Zone.

At the same time, the province will firmly carry out site clearance, land compensation and residential resettlement to provide sufficient land for new projects to keep up with their registered progress and build up the high consensus of dwellers in the places where these projects are implemented.

Fifth, Phu Yen will actively and effectively implement mechanisms and policies to cooperate in development with other provinces in the region to boost common and indigenous strengths, especially in services, tourism and industry as per the regional development plan approved by the Prime Minister in Decision 376/QD-TTg dated May 4, 2024 on ratification of the Northern Central and Central Coast Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050.

Sixth, the province will concentrate on improving the quality of human resources, especially high-quality personnel, intensifying inspection, supervision and evaluation, summarizing experience in carrying out plans to make prompt adjustment and have appropriate solutions to achieve planning goals.

The implementation of master plans will create development breakthroughs, but Phu Yen is facing a huge and heavy workload ahead. So, how is the provincial government resolved and determined to make this happen?

The implementation of the Phu Yen Provincial Master Plan for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, and the revised Nam Phu Yen Economic Zone Construction Master Plan to 2040 approved by the Prime Minister is of particular importance to local socioeconomic development; Phu Yen must do a lot of work with great difficulties and challenges. Therefore, the province hopes to receive more attention, support and assistance from the Government, the Prime Minister, ministries and other central agencies to carry out these plans.

Simultaneously, first and foremost, all levels, sectors, localities, units, businesses and people of Phu Yen province must unite, join forces to address difficulties with specific actions. The provincial government will endeavor to reform its leadership, direction and administration, with people and businesses placed at the heart of service; and improve public service ethics, attitude, practices and responsibility with their work. The province will boost human resource development, reform administrative procedures, create transformational changes in the investment and business environment, sharpen competitiveness, form the most open and favorable investment environment to entice investors to successfully accomplish planning goals and tasks to make Phu Yen a place of wellbeing, prosperity and peace.

Thank you so much!
