 Toward those objectives, Hue recommended that the locality continue to zone its socio-economic and urban development spaces in multifunctional and multi-center directions, respectively.

The province should renew and enhance the existing growth momentum and stimulate the formation of new growth drivers, especially in terms of innovation, creativity, and digital transformation.
