Quang Ninh sea port gets PM’s green light
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung emphasised that building the Hai Ha sea port was an indispensable measure to develop economy, during a working visit to the northeastern border province of Quang Ninh Province yesterday.
"Building the Hai Ha sea port is essential in the strategy for the economic co-operation development plan 'Two Corridors, One Belt' in the northern economic region," Dung told provincial leaders and investors.
The Prime Minister said Hai Ha District had several advantages to become an industrial area in the future. He noted that the district must be an industrial centre-sea port, and a big shipbuilding and repairing centre, not only serving socio-economic development in the country but also expanding to co-operate with its peers from neighbouring China.
"In the next decade, Hai Ha will become a big industrial, trade, tourist and service centre in Quang Ninh Province and in the whole country as well," Dung said.
He applauded Mong Cai City for its socio-economic achievements, helping to guarantee national defence and security, and building friendly co-operation relations with localities on both sides of the Viet Nam-China border.
As a border city in the northeast of the country, holding in an especially important position on the trans-Asian route, a gateway between Viet Nam, China and ASEAN countries as determined by the Two Corridors, One Belt' strategy, Mong Cai should promote its strength and potential to live up to its status, Dung stressed.
During his stay in the province, Prime Minister Dung heard provincial authorities and investors report on the implementation of some projects and industrial zones in the districts of Van Don, Hai Ha, Mong Cai and Yen Hung.
The Prime Minister agreed with their proposals to borrow preferential loans to build an industrial zone and a sea port in Hai Ha District as well as an airport in Van Don District.
