The Government leader made the suggestion on September 28 in Ha Noi while working with Quang Nam’s leaders.

He praised the locality’s comprehensive development, especially in tourism, mechanics, infrastructure, better living standards especially ethnic minority groups, as well as administrative reform.  

Especially, the PM commended the central province from a Central budget recipient (up to 75%) to budget contributor from 2017.

However, Mr. Phuc also directly pointed to  local weaknesses,  including high poverty rate; low number of businesses (an enterprise per 280 local residents); high percentage of agricultural labor force; tourism promotion.

He called on the province to shake hands with two other central peers – Da Nang and Quang Ngai – to become the economic hub for the Central Coast.  

Quang Ngai province was asked to restructure the local economy; tap potentials and develop offshore fishing; perfect infrastructure to encourage more investment at industrial parks and economic zones.
