Three Strategic Breakthroughs
The draft identifies three strategic breakthroughs for the 2025-2030 term: developing high-quality human resources, completing modern socio-economic infrastructure, and fostering a culturally rich society.
Developing High-Quality Human Resources
Human resources are considered the key factor in the development strategy. Quang Ninh focuses on training a workforce with knowledge, skills, and innovative thinking to meet the demands of a green and digital economy. The province will implement policies to attract, retain, and utilize talent, encouraging individuals who dare to think, act, and take responsibility for the community’s benefit.
Completing Modern Infrastructure
Transportation, technology, and socio-economic infrastructure serve as the foundation for sustainable development. Quang Ninh commits to investing in a modern, multi-modal infrastructure system to support management and governance processes. This not only aids in digital and green transitions but also promotes tourism, marine economy, digital economy, and Van Don Economic Zone development.
Fostering a Culturally Rich Society
Culture is identified as the “soul” of the development journey. Quang Ninh aims to build a culturally rich society closely tied to the development of the cultural industry. Cultural values and people will be the internal driving force, ensuring long-term sustainable development.
Ha Long – The Core City
In its journey to become a central city, Ha Long is designated as the core city, serving as the center of development with a spatial orientation of “One heart – two lines – multi-dimensions – multiple breakthroughs – three dynamic regions.” The Provincial Party Committee continues to study and supplement solutions to promote urbanization in Ha Long, contributing to GDP growth targets and cultural-social development.
Toward the 100th Anniversary of the Party’s Founding
Beyond the immediate goals, Quang Ninh also sets a long-term vision for 2045, coinciding with the 100th anniversary of the Party’s founding. The locality aims to become one of the leading economic engines of the nation, guiding the country’s future development.
Conclusion
The goal of becoming a central city by 2030 demonstrates Quang Ninh’s strong commitment to enhancing its status and achieving sustainable development. To achieve this, the province must focus on implementing strategic solutions, particularly in human resource development, infrastructure completion, and cultural enrichment. With continuous efforts, Quang Ninh promises to become a new symbol of development in Vietnam in the coming decade.
