Under the action plan to realize the resolution, Hau said leaders of the provincial Party Committee have reformed leadership methods right from the first year of their tenure. In the second year, the leaders will work out solutions to tap local advantages and strengths to boost the province’s development.

According to Vo Dinh Vinh, Director of the provincial Department of Industry and Trade, Ninh Thuan has submitted to the Ministry of Industry and Trade and the Prime Minister for approval the provincial socio-economic development plan.
“In mid-May, the Government's Power Development Plan VIII was integrated into the provincial socio-economic development plan. We’ve provided consultation for the provincial administration to deploy the plan in the coming time to fully tap the locality’s potentials and create more values for the industry and processing and manufacturing sectors,” said Vinh.
Under the provincial Party Committee resolution, agriculture, especially high-tech agriculture, has been identified as the economic spearhead. Ninh Thuan has promoted the application of high-tech in agricultural production to form large-scale project areas to produce high-quality farm produce to meet market demand.
By 2025, Ninh Thuan plans to have 3 to 5 hi-tech agricultural areas covering 1,000 ha with a production value of 30,000 dollars per hectare and ensure sustainable development of agricultural, forestry, and fishery production and rural economy.
Truong Khac Tri, Deputy Director of the provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Development, told VOV that over the past two years of implementing the provincial Party resolution on developing hi-tech agriculture, Ninh Thuan’s hi-tech agriculture has achieved encouraging results.
“The agricultural production industry grows 4.81% last year against the set target of 3 to 4% per year. The hi-tech agriculture production grew 39.6% against the set target of 30 to 40% a year,” Tri concluded.
In the coming time, the province will continue to reform the implementation of the Party resolution, step up the mass mobilization to uphold the strength of the whole political system and the great national unity, and strengthen the application of IT, and the digital transformation in order to successfully realize the resolutions of the provincial Party Congress and the national Party Congress, and its 5-year socio-economic development plan until 2025.
