(KPL/VNA)The southern province of Dong Nai
aims to become one of Vietnam's three largest economic centres, after Hanoi and
Ho Chi Minh City, according to the province's development goals for 2030.
The province has ambitions to become a centre
for international trade, tourism and services, with a world-class urban area
based on smart models, with an additional focus on developing the green
economy.
According to the Vice Chairwoman of the
provincial People's Committee Nguyen Thi Hoang, Dong Nai has many opportunities
to take the lead in forming and developing the three main economic axes of the
Southern region, including the Southeast, the Southwest and a maritime economic
corridor.
To achieve those targets, Dong Nai will focus
on improving the business and investment environment to create favourable
conditions for businesses, with a special emphasis on becoming an ideal and
safe destination for investors.
The province is offering many other solutions
to attract investors and quickly deploy transport projects with a system
connecting it to other locations in Southeast region and other economic
regions, including Long Thanh airport and Bien Hoa airport.
Dong Nai plans to build green industrial
parks, innovation centres and centralised information technology parks.
Projects will include developing an airport urban area, a Long Thanh airport
ecological urban area and Dong Nai riverside urban chains, with priority given
to Bien Hoa city, Long Thanh district and Nhon Trach district.
Dong Nai wants to exploit the Long Thanh
International Airport and Phuoc An Port to form a smart, synchronous and
effective logistics centre.
In the largest investment project in the
country to date, the Long Thanh airport's first phase is expected to be put
into operation in 2026.
Secretary of the provincial Party Committee
Nguyen Hong Linh said that when infrastructure projects come into operation,
including the Long Thanh Airport, the Bien Hoa Airport, ring roads 3 and 4, Ben
Luc - Long Thanh and Bien Hoa - Vũng Tàu expressways and the Cát Lái bridge,
those will be new driving forces for development of Dong Nai, as well as
localities in the Southeast region.
The province has outlined solutions to create
resources for carrying out the planning, including mobilisation of investment
capital, human resource development, application of science and technology,
building of linkage mechanisms between the province and other parts of the
economic regions and control of urban and rural development.
Dong Nai is located in the southern key
economic region and is a gateway connecting the Southeast region with many
other economic areas of Vietnam. The province's economic growth in the period
2021-2023 reached around 7%, while its GDP per capita was nearly 140 million
VND (5,714 USD), 1.6 times higher than that in the rest of the country.
In particular, the industrial sector is a
driver of the province's economic growth with most of the 32 industrial parks
(IZs) operating with an occupancy rate of over 86%.
Dong Nai is one of the top localities in
attracting domestic and foreign investment in Vietnam with 2,100 projects,
including 1,456 foreign-invested projects with a total investment of nearly 30
billion USD and 652 domestic projects, amounting to 79 trillion VND.
