In an interview with Quang Nam Newspaper , Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Le Tri Thanh affirmed that the provincial planning clearly demonstrated the vision and aspiration, positioning it as an important growth pole of the Central Highlands region.
Strong innovation in thinking to realize planning
Mr. Chairman, is there anything new, different, or more optimal about this planning than other planning?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
The project integrates all planning in the province. This is also the first time Vietnam has implemented planning in this new way, so there are certain difficulties. The progress is slow compared to the general requirements of the Government , but is highly appreciated for its quality. The basic planning clearly shows the goals, visions, and aspirations of Quang Nam from now until 2030. In particular, Quang Nam is determined to become a fairly developed province, an important growth pole of the Central Highlands. The planning also shows the position, role, and great resilience of Quang Nam in contributing to the overall development of the region and the whole country.

The novelty and difference are not only reflected in the scale of the 5 types of national and international transportation. We determine that seaports and airports will become logistics centers, international cargo exchange gateways, and international aviation service industrial centers. Mechanics, auxiliary, pharmaceuticals, silica, gas and electricity... are determined to become national industrial centers.

Quang Nam will build a green and diverse tourism ecosystem, becoming an international tourism center. Besides, it will be one of the centers for training human resources that meet international standards, developing training according to the university urban model. Building Olympic-standard sports competition facilities, many parks, squares, and playgrounds for all ages. Developing smart, ecological, organic agriculture, adapting to climate change...
The development plan outlines a bright future for Quang Nam. However, to make it a reality, a lot of money and resources are needed. What can Quang Nam rely on to do it?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
The provincial planning approved by the Prime Minister will be an important legal basis for allocating resources from the budget and mobilizing from society to realize that planning.
Quang Nam's viewpoint is to effectively use state budget resources, invest in public works, pioneering and pioneering projects to create conditions to mobilize social resources from businesses, people and international organizations. However, public investment is only seed capital, the important issue is the policy mechanism, investment environment, administrative procedures, site clearance, and good public service attitude to create trust to receive and absorb other resources. Thereby, ensuring the implementation of the planning.
Planning has given us the opportunity to develop, in my opinion, we must change our thinking more strongly. We must dare to think and act, not just subordinates running to superiors to ask for money to do this or that project, but we must think about how in our industry and locality, the investment money from the budget will decrease and the social money will increase. This is very difficult but really meaningful.
Things to do immediately after planning announcement
What should be done and prioritized after announcing this planning, Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
That is, we must develop a plan to implement the planning. This plan must have a scientific and practical basis, clearly defining the contents to be implemented in each phase, items, tasks, time, progress and some other requirements to focus on implementing the planning from now until 2030.
In the next period, from 2030 to 2050, we need to be careful because the world is changing very quickly and unpredictably. We have to observe and assess as we work.
In the immediate future, the Provincial People's Committee has directed the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with the Management Board of Economic Zones and Industrial Parks, the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and localities, especially the localities in the Eastern region, to review planning documents in the area to consider adjusting, updating and supplementing them to be consistent with the approved provincial planning.
If the current plans are not suitable, do not reflect the potential, and some important indicators have not been thoroughly studied, they must be adjusted accordingly. Previous plans were of low quality due to low budget, now, through the provincial planning and implementation process, if there are any shortcomings or limitations, they must be adjusted and supplemented to ensure higher efficiency and sustainability.
There is a large amount of work to be done this year. Quang Nam is committed to the idea of rapid but sustainable development, saving resources, and ensuring efficiency in attracting investment.
Not because a provincial planning has a bright future that we rush to establish poor quality lower-level planning, or attract weak-capacity enterprises to invest without caring about the ecological environment... If we just want to do it quickly to fill up for achievements, for tenure, then that is not the case.
That will make this planning project meaningless and dangerous for the future.CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH

So, according to the Chairman, how can we control the quality of planning carried out by localities, departments and sectors? While the National Assembly's supervision and the Chairman himself still complain that planning projects are too weak?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
Planning is not a rigid framework, implemented according to the will of the state agency. It must be open to listen to and absorb multi-dimensional opinions of experts, economists, scientists, businesses and must be truly receptive. In the process of organizing and implementing the planning, if there are any new issues that need to be supplemented, updated and adjusted, if it is deemed reasonable, brings higher economic efficiency, more sustainable value, then it must be accepted.
Promote the role and responsibility of provincial state management agencies in disseminating, guiding, and supervising the implementation of planning... Attention must be paid right from the stage of making outlines and tasks of planning projects to the appraisal of these projects. Decentralize and delegate authority, but must supervise, evaluate, and correct in the process of making and implementing planning at lower levels.
This is a very difficult task, but there will be appropriate measures and solutions to ensure that lower-level planning is both synchronous and specific to higher-level planning projects for each sector, field and territory. While doing, we will monitor and learn from our current conditions.
Will there be an investment boom, Mr. Chairman?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
I think it will definitely happen. In recent times, in the face of the general difficulties of the international and domestic situation, Quang Nam has focused on reviewing and re-establishing the planning. That is the most important premise to promote attracting investors.
During the planning process, Quang Nam was very receptive, organizing to collect opinions from international organizations, large enterprises, experts, scientists, and economists from the beginning. When the technical and social infrastructure system is invested systematically on the basis of general planning projects, zoning plans, detailed plans with long-term vision, and highly effective land use, then surely the development space for Quang Nam will be very large, and will be truly attractive to strategic investors.

Quang Nam chooses green development
Mr. Chairman, Quang Nam simultaneously announced the planning and opened the National Biodiversity Year; with this "2 in 1" approach, what message does Quang Nam want to send?
CHAIRMAN OF THE PROVINCIAL PEOPLE'S COMMITTEE LE TRI THANH:
In the past 10 years, Quang Nam has emerged as a bright spot in the country in terms of biodiversity restoration, natural resource protection, as well as efforts to protect forests, protect ecosystems in coastal wetlands, conservation areas, coral reefs on islands, and protect rare endemic animals... We have been very proactive and actively participated in the state's policies and international commitments on biodiversity protection and natural resource protection.
From the results that Quang Nam has achieved in the past, we realize that the work of protecting natural resources and biodiversity has become more urgent than ever.
When the Law on Biodiversity was born and the Government issued the National Action Program on Biodiversity Restoration to 2030, Quang Nam became even more aware of this.
During the development process, planning and construction investment have prioritized environmental protection, natural resource protection, and biodiversity conservation. Many investment projects causing negative impacts have been rejected. Many projects have had to be adjusted to ensure that goal.
Quang Nam is the first locality in the country to proactively develop a project to organize activities for the Year of Biodiversity Restoration, which has been highly appreciated by the Government, the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment and international organizations. Quang Nam also issued a document calling on other localities across the country to respond.
Through this event, we hope to create new awareness among organizations and people about the responsibility of conserving biodiversity and natural resources.
When integrating the announcement of the planning with the opening of the National Biodiversity Recovery Year - Quang Nam 2024, the message that Quang Nam wants to convey is to concretize the Quang Nam planning towards green growth, sustainable development, and responsible development for today's and future generations. Affirming the viewpoint and stance in attracting investment of Quang Nam is to simultaneously protect the ecological environment, protect the core values, and the survival of the planet.
Planning is not a rigid framework, implemented according to the will of state agencies, but must be open to listening and receiving multi-dimensional opinions from experts, economists, scientists, businesses and must be truly receptive.
