It is necessary to continue to selectively attract investment, focusing on attracting and absorbing technology, knowledge and management capacity. Promoting the development of supporting industries. Connecting domestic enterprises with foreign investment sectors. Bringing Vietnamese enterprises into high-value stages.
Bac Ninh's development must be reflected in its own technological capacity, the maturity of domestic enterprises and the increasingly large value created and retained in the homeland, creating higher value and making greater contributions to the whole country," said the General Secretary and President.
The General Secretary and President also proposed that Bac Ninh must bring Quan Ho, Dong Ho paintings, craft villages, relics, traditions of studiousness and community culture into modern life. Turn heritage into a resource for cultural, tourism and creative industries.

Improve the quality of education, health, housing, and essential services, especially for workers, laborers and difficult areas. Carefully care for Vietnamese Heroic Mothers, veteran revolutionary cadres, wounded soldiers, sick soldiers, families of martyrs, people with meritorious services, and policy families.
Building Bac Ninh into a modern, green, and humane city, with high-tech industry and technology, and Vietnamese businesses capable of reaching out to the world, but still a city imbued with the soul and culture of Kinh Bac.
Deep integration but solid internal strength. Being richer but still maintaining the environment and identity, developing rapidly while the Quan Ho folk songs are still smooth, the craft villages, pagodas and communal houses, the style and tradition are still preserved, passed down and spread," the General Secretary and President advised.
