 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. He also highlighted the need for developing multi-modal transportation. 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.

The NA leader suggested that the province pay attention to the petrochemical industry and wind power equipment manufacturing, which can be seen as new growth drivers. 

At the working session, the province put forth a series of proposals with regard to the establishment of a free trade zone linked to the seaport in the Cai Mep Ha area, infrastructure investment for Con Dao island, the implementation of the Belt Road No. 4 project in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Bien Hoa-Vung Tau freight railway connecting with the Cai Mep-Thi Vai seaport.
