The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister acknowledged and highly appreciated the efforts of the Bac Ninh provincial government in accompanying businesses, building a friendly and open investment environment, always listening and promptly removing difficulties for investors.
Therefore, the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister suggested that the province should continue to maintain that spirit to create momentum for sustainable growth in the coming time.
The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister noted that in parallel with the development of high-tech industry and semiconductor industry, Bac Ninh also needs to simultaneously invest appropriately in agriculture, a field that is a "bright spot" of the province with many products reaching the international market.
He also suggested that immediately after Gia Binh airport and key industrial projects come into operation, Bac Ninh province should play a pioneering role, starting the process of registering Bac Ninh to become a centrally-governed city by 2030, along with Ninh Binh and Khanh Hoa.
