The most obvious example for this goal is the Southeast economic region. With Grdp consolidated accounting for nearly 24% of the country's economic scale, Ho Chi Minh City - Binh Duong - Ba Ria -Vung Tau owns the most modern industry, service and logistics platform.The consolidation of these 3 localities will help optimize arterial traffic routes (Ring 3, 4, Moc Bai - Ho Chi Minh City, Bien Hoa - Vung Tau), connect Cai Mep Sea Port - Thi Vai with northern logistics centers, creating a rarely and uniform infrastructure network.
The expanded development space also means that urban areas do not have to win the development of land, but can coordinate, share and play functional role to develop polarity and reduce the load for the central core core.
Another problem is that the current provinces are often bound by the budget limit, boundaries, manpower and administrative psychology. When consolidated, merged, the planning space will open, the budget accumulates large enough to invest in inter -regional projects and new apparatus will be rearranged in a streamlined, performance, effective and efficient direction.
General Secretary To Lam has repeatedly emphasized that the arrangement and merger of provinces and cities are aiming to organize the socio -economic development space to promote growth, ensure national defense and security with a vision to 2045 - 2050 and even further.
With larger terrain and scale, localities come here to have more planning and investment in transportation systems, defense industry, coastal economic zones, airports - maritime ports, forming a solid socio -economic defense system, thereby increasing internal resources and reducing external dependence.
Of course, the merger is not simply combined to make it bigger. So the problem raises not only institutions and budgets, but also the organization of the apparatus, public service system and especially the psychology of the people.
Each locality has its own identity, its own management habits. When merged, a flexible and convincing transition is needed, so that every class of people can see the long -term benefits and no one is left behind.
Merging localities is not the destination, but the first step to build a new development platform. When the space is strategically reorganized, Vietnam will have many extremely growing regional growth, bringing the country quickly on the journey to become a developed country by 2045 as expected.
