PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE PROPAGANDA DEPARTMENT
Question 1: In what context was the article "Proud and confident under the glorious flag of the Party, determined to build an increasingly rich, civilized, heroic Vietnam" by General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong published?

We need to look back and objectively and comprehensively evaluate the main results, achievements and lessons that our Party, our country and our people have achieved through historical stages.
Question 2: Since its inception (February 3, 1930) until now, what historical stages has our Party gone through?
Reply:
Since its inception (February 3, 1930) until now, our Party has gone through the following historical stages:
(1) From 1930 to 1945: The Party was born, led the revolution, and seized power;
(2) From 1946 to 1954: The Party led the national resistance war and restored peace in the North.
(3) From 1955 to 1975: The Party led the construction of socialism in the North; fought to liberate the South and unify the country.

Question 3: What was the role of the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh (ie President Ho Chi Minh) in the birth of our Party?
Reply:
In 1911, the patriotic young man Nguyen Tat Thanh left to find a new path for the cause of national salvation, fighting for national independence. With a great, burning desire, he came to Marxism-Leninism, finding in this revolutionary doctrine the right path to national salvation - the path of proletarian revolution. After many years of working abroad, he persistently researched, studied, creatively applied and gradually spread Marxism-Leninism to Vietnam, painstakingly preparing the necessary conditions for the establishment of a genuine revolutionary party. On February 3, 1930, the conference to unify communist organizations held in Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong (China), under the chairmanship of leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, decided to unify communist organizations in our country into a single Party, named the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Question 4: Why was the birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam a major turning point in the country's history?
Reply:
Since the mid-nineteenth century, when the French colonialists invaded our country, not accepting the status of slaves, our people have continuously risen up to fight through patriotic movements that have taken place continuously and strongly in many ways with many different tendencies. From the path of national salvation of the scholars to the peasant uprisings and the path of bourgeois revolution... although they fought very steadfastly, with great enthusiasm and endured great sacrifices, due to historical limitations, especially the lack of a correct direction, those movements were not successful.
On February 3, 1930, the conference to unify communist organizations held in Kowloon Peninsula, Hong Kong (China), chaired by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc, decided to unify communist organizations in our country into a single Party, named the Communist Party of Vietnam. This was a major historical turning point, ending the prolonged crisis in organization and direction of the Vietnamese revolution. The birth of the Communist Party of Vietnam was the result of the combination of Marxism-Leninism with the workers' movement and patriotic movement; proving that the Vietnamese working class had matured and was capable of shouldering the historical mission of leading the revolution.
Question 5: When was the Communist Party cell in Ninh Thuan established?
Reply:
In Ninh Thuan, from late 1928 to late 1929, Tan Viet branches following the Communist tendency were established at Cau Bao, Thap Cham Depo, Ca Na Salt Office, and Phuong Cuu Salt Office.
In April 1929, an inter-provincial agency including Ninh Thuan, Binh Thuan, Khanh Hoa, Lam Vien, and Buon Me Thuot was established to lead Tan Viet in the provinces.
After the Communist Party of Vietnam was born, implementing the policy of Party transfer, in Ninh Thuan in March 1930, the inter-provincial agency met at Tan My Forest Ranger Station to carry out the Party transfer. From April 1930, Tan Viet Party cells in Ninh Thuan reviewed the Party transfer, except for a few people who did not meet the standards, most of the rest became members of the Communist Party of Vietnam. Along with that, the work of developing Party members and developing the masses continued to be focused on.
From the Tan Viet Revolutionary Party cells transformed into Communist Party cells, the Party's mass organizations were built in 30 villages of Van Phuoc, Dac Nhon, Phu Quy, Kinh Dinh communes and the whole An Phuoc district...
Question 6: How did the Party's first political platform adopted at the Party's founding conference define the basic path of the Vietnamese revolution?
Reply:
The first Platform of the Party was drafted by leader Nguyen Ai Quoc and discussed and approved by the Party's founding conference (February 1930). Although brief, only 282 words, the Platform clearly identified many fundamental issues regarding the strategy and tactics of the Vietnamese revolution; meeting the urgent needs of the Nation and the earnest aspirations of the People.
The Platform clearly stated, politically: Overthrow the domination of French colonialism and the feudal regime, make Vietnam completely independent, establish a worker-peasant-soldier government, and organize a worker-peasant army.
Economically: Abolish all national debts; confiscate all large industries (such as industry, transportation, banking...) of French capitalists to hand over to the worker-peasant-soldier government for management; confiscate land of French capitalists and large landlords to make public property to distribute to poor peasants, abolish taxes for poor peasants; expand and develop industry and agriculture; enforce the 8-hour workday law.
Socially: People are free to organize, men and women have equal rights, and universal education is implemented according to industrialization and agrarianization.
Along with the Brief Platform, Uncle Ho also drafted and had the Party Founding Conference approve the Brief Strategy, Brief Program, Brief Statutes and Appeal on the occasion of the Party's founding. All of these documents have become important classic documents of our Party, establishing the basic strategic line and tactics of the Vietnamese revolution and the principles, goals, organizational principles and activities of the Communist Party of Vietnam.
Question 7: From 1930 to 1945, what revolutionary movements did our Party lead?
Reply:
After its birth, with its guidelines, the Party responded to the urgent demands of the Nation and the earnest aspirations of the People; received the sympathy, support and absolute trust of the People; within just 15 years, our Party led the struggle for national liberation, carrying out three revolutionary high tides: The Revolutionary High Tide of 1930 - 1931, with the peak being the Soviet - Nghe Tinh movement; The Revolutionary High Tide demanding people's livelihood and democracy (1936 - 1939) and The Revolutionary High Tide of National Liberation (1939 - 1945).
Question 8: How did the Communist Party of Vietnam lead the entire Vietnamese people to the victory of the August Revolution in 1945?
Reply:
After the rehearsals, by 1945, the revolutionary movement had risen. In August 1945, the Party's National Conference held in Tan Trao (Tuyen Quang) affirmed: "A very good opportunity for us to gain independence has come" and decided to launch a nationwide uprising to seize power from the Japanese fascists and their lackeys before the Allies entered Indochina; proposed three principles to ensure the victory of the general uprising, which were: concentration, unity, and timeliness. At 11:00 p.m. on August 13, 1945, the Uprising Committee issued Military Order No. 1 calling on the entire people to launch a general uprising. On August 16, 1945, the National Congress held in Tan Trao approved "10 major policies of the Viet Minh"; approved the "General Uprising Order"; stipulated the national flag and national anthem; established the Central National Liberation Committee, that is, the Provisional Government with comrade Ho Chi Minh as President. President Ho Chi Minh sent a letter calling on the people of the whole country to launch a general uprising, stating: “The decisive hour for the destiny of our nation has come. The whole country, let's stand up and use our own strength to liberate ourselves.”
Under the leadership of the Party and President Ho Chi Minh, the people of the whole country rose up, carried out a general uprising, and seized power. From August 14 to 18, the general uprising broke out and won victory in the rural areas of the Northern Delta, most of the Central region, part of the South, and in the towns of Bac Giang, Hai Duong, Ha Tinh, Hoi An, Quang Nam, etc. On August 19, the uprising to seize power was victorious in Hanoi. On August 23, the uprising was victorious in Hue and in Bac Can, Hoa Binh, Hai Phong, Ha Dong, Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Binh Dinh, Gia Lai, Bac Lieu, etc. On August 25, the uprising was victorious in Saigon - Gia Dinh, Kon Tum, Soc Trang, Vinh Long, Tra Vinh, Bien Hoa, Tay Ninh, Ben Tre, etc. In Con Dao, the Con Dao Prison Party Committee led the imprisoned revolutionary soldiers to rise up and seize power.
Within just 15 days at the end of August 1945, the general uprising achieved complete victory, and the power throughout the country belonged to the people.
On September 2, 1945, at the historic Ba Dinh Square (Hanoi), before a rally of nearly one million compatriots, President Ho Chi Minh, on behalf of the Provisional Government, solemnly read the Declaration of Independence, declaring to the nation and the world: The Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born (now the Socialist Republic of Vietnam). Since then, September 2 has been our country's National Day.
From here, Vietnam entered a new era: the era of independence, freedom and socialism. This is one of the greatest events in the Vietnamese revolutionary career.
Question 9: How did the Party lead the people of Ninh Thuan to victory in the August Revolution of 1945?
Reply:
The August Revolution in our country in general and in Ninh Thuan in particular is the crystallization of the best traditions of a heroic, indomitable nation with a history of thousands of years of building and defending the country.
Ninh Thuan is the province that rose up to seize power compared to other provinces in the region and the southern provinces in general. On August 21, 1945, under the leadership of the Party, the uprising to seize power in Ninh Thuan broke out in the provincial capital and won victory. Then, it seized power in the communes, districts, villages and hamlets throughout the province. That was the result of 15 years of struggle of the working class, of the people of all ethnic groups in the province under the leadership of the Party organization, of the Party members and Viet Minh cadres who shouldered the responsibility of propagating, mobilizing, organizing and leading the people to make revolution. During those 15 years, the revolutionary movement in the province sometimes encountered difficulties and challenges due to being pursued and terrorized by the French colonialists; but with perseverance, determination, and loyalty to the revolutionary ideal, for the independence and freedom of the people; Communist Party members, revolutionary cores and the masses in the province overcame all difficulties and challenges to move forward to win early victory in the August Revolution of 1945 in their home province.
Ninh Thuan is one of the three provinces that successfully rose up to seize power the earliest in the South (after Quang Nam and Khanh Hoa). The people of all ethnic groups in Ninh Thuan province are always proud of that.
Question 10: In 1945 - 1946, what difficulties and challenges did the Party and President Ho Chi Minh lead the people to overcome?
Reply:
Immediately after the Democratic Republic of Vietnam was born, the revolution had to face many difficulties and challenges; at the same time, it had to confront "famine, illiteracy and foreign invaders". In that dangerous situation, the Party led our people to overcome the "life-threatening" situation, steadfastly protecting and building the young government, fighting internal and external enemies, both fighting the resistance and building the nation: building and firmly consolidating the people's government; electing the National Assembly (January 6, 1946); building the first democratic Constitution (November 9, 1946); taking care of building a new regime and a new life for the people; fighting hunger, illiteracy and foreign invaders; organizing resistance against French colonialism in the South and South Central regions with the support and assistance of the whole country; resolutely suppressing counter-revolutionary forces, protecting the government and the achievements of the August Revolution; implementing a clever strategy, sometimes temporarily making peace with Chiang Kai-shek to fight the invading French colonialists, sometimes making peace with the French to expel Chiang Kai-shek, making principled concessions and thoroughly exploiting contradictions within the enemy ranks, leading the revolution to overcome dangerous challenges. We proactively prepared the necessary conditions to deal with the French colonialists' war of aggression on a national scale. The outstanding success of more than a year of building the young government was to strengthen the strength of the revolution so that it could protect the fruits of the revolution with its own strength.
Question 11: Which revolutionary line of the Party led to victory in our people's resistance war against French colonialism?
Reply:
In December 1946, facing the French colonialists' ambition to invade our country once again, the Party and President Ho Chi Minh launched a nationwide resistance war with the determination: "We would rather sacrifice everything than lose our country or become slaves". Based on the "all-people", "comprehensive", "long-term" resistance policy, "relying mainly on our own strength", promoting the tradition of solidarity and patriotism of the entire nation, our Party led our people to successively defeat all the enemy's plots and invasion plans, especially the victory in the 1953-1954 Winter-Spring Campaign, culminating in the historic Dien Bien Phu Victory "resounding throughout the five continents, shaking the world", forcing the French colonialists to sign the Geneva Agreement (in 1954), ending the war of aggression against Vietnam.
Question 12: From 1955 to 1975, how did the Party lead the construction of socialism in the North and the struggle to liberate the South and unify the country?
Answer:
From 1955 to 1975, our country was divided into two parts. Under the leadership of the Party, the North both made efforts to build socialism and fight against the destructive war of American imperialism, while at the same time devoted itself to fulfilling its duty as the great rear base to the great front line in the South. The people of the South continued their steadfast struggle to gain national independence and unify the country.
With the spirit of "rather sacrifice everything but never lose the country, never become slaves", "nothing is more precious than independence and freedom"; on the basis of the correct and creative line of the Party, with the combined strength of the entire nation, our army and people have successively defeated the war strategies of the US imperialists, liberated the South, unified the country, and brought the country together on April 30, 1975. That victory "will forever be recorded in the history of our nation as one of the most brilliant pages, a shining symbol of the complete victory of revolutionary heroism and the intelligence of the Vietnamese people and will go down in world history as a great feat of the 20th century, an event of great international importance and profound contemporary significance".
Question 13: How did the revolutionary struggle of the Party Committee and People of Ninh Thuan from 1954 - 1975 take place?
Reply:
When the Geneva Agreement was signed, it stipulated that the unification of the North and South would be carried out through a national general election on July 20, 1956. But the US imperialists sabotaged the Agreement, bringing Ngo Dinh Diem from the US to South Vietnam to establish a puppet government, building a brutal fascist dictatorship, aiming to turn South Vietnam into a new type of colony of the US imperialists, sabotaging our people's struggle to unify the country.
Under the leadership of the Party, the people of Ninh Thuan and the people of the whole country entered a new, extremely difficult and fierce battle against the international Sen Dam, the US imperialists and their lackeys.
The people of Ninh Thuan, together with the people of the entire South, rose up to fight against the US and Diem, fought politically to demand that the US and Diem implement the Geneva Agreement, and to negotiate a general election to unify the country, successively bankrupting the strategy of "One-sided war", defeating the "Special war", "Local war" and "Vietnamization of the war" of the US imperialists.
Standing side by side with the people of the whole region, the army and people of Ninh Thuan coordinated with the main force of the South, organized attacks and uprisings to liberate the homeland. April 16, 1975 ended the revolutionary struggle for independence, freedom and liberation of the homeland, becoming a traditional historical day of the Party Committee and the people of Ninh Thuan.
Question 14: What pride does the revolutionary struggle from 1930 to 1975 leave us?
Reply:
Looking back on the journey from 1930 to 1975, we are extremely proud, confident and deeply grateful to the glorious Party and great Uncle Ho who have always wisely led the Vietnamese revolution from one resounding victory to another, continuing to write brilliant golden pages in the history of the heroic and civilized Vietnamese nation, admired and highly appreciated by the world: Successfully carrying out the earth-shattering August Revolution, seizing power for the people, bringing our country out of the slavery of colonialism and imperialism in 1945; Long-term resistance war against the invading French colonialists, ending with the Geneva Agreement and the victory of the Dien Bien Phu campaign that resounded throughout the five continents and shook the world; Building socialism and fighting against the destructive war of the American imperialists in the North, while fighting against the Americans to save the country, liberate the South, and unify the country, ending with the historic Dien Bien Phu in the air campaign and the Ho Chi Minh campaign.
Question 15: Which Party Congress set out the policy of comprehensive national renewal?
Reply:
After the country was reunified, our country had to face many very serious consequences of 30 years of war. To overcome the consequences of war and continue to build socialism nationwide, our Party focused on leading the development and implementation of the 5-year socio-economic development plan 1976-1980 and 1981-1985. Thereby, the socio-economic infrastructure, especially industrial, agricultural, health, education-training, transportation, and irrigation facilities were gradually restored. The state economy and collective economy were cared for and developed, making many contributions to the development of the country.
However, in response to the new requirements of the cause of national construction and defense in a country at peace, to overcome the shortcomings of the centralized bureaucratic and subsidized planning mechanism, leading to the socio-economic crisis in the post-war years, on the basis of summarizing the initiatives and creativity in practice of the People, our Party carried out the renovation process, first of all, the renovation of theoretical thinking about socialism, in part in agriculture and industry, and gradually formed the National Renovation Policy.
The 6th National Congress of the Party (December 1986), based on a profound analysis of the country's situation and through the process of research and practical testing, with the spirit of "looking straight at the truth, correctly assessing the truth, clearly stating the truth", "renewing thinking" proposed the Comprehensive National Renovation Policy, marking an important turning point on the path of transition to socialism in Vietnam. The birth of the Renovation Policy met the demands of historical reality, demonstrated the steadfastness and creative thinking of the Communist Party of Vietnam and opened a new era for the country's development.
Question 16: What is the perception of the Socialist Society that our Party and people are building?
Reply:
After the 6th Congress, the Party has gradually perfected and concretized the renovation policy, the basic and core content of which is expressed in the Platform for national construction in the transitional period to socialism (the 1991 Platform and the 2011 supplemented and developed Platform) and important documents of the Party through the Congresses. In the 1990s of the 20th century, overcoming the challenge of the collapse of the model of realism in the Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, the Communist Party of Vietnam and the Vietnamese people have been steadfast, continued to step firmly and creatively on the path to socialism in accordance with the specific conditions and characteristics of Vietnam. The Party Central Committee from the 6th to the 13th tenures issued many resolutions on fundamental and important issues of the Party and the development of the country.
Up to now, although there are still some issues that need further in-depth research, we have formed a general awareness: The socialist society that the Vietnamese people are striving to build is a society of rich people, strong country, democracy, fairness, and civilization; owned by the people; with a highly developed economy, based on modern productive forces and appropriate progressive production relations; with an advanced culture, imbued with national identity; people have a prosperous, free, happy life, with conditions for comprehensive development; ethnic groups in the Vietnamese community are equal, united, respect and help each other to develop together; there is a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people, led by the Communist Party; there are friendly and cooperative relations with countries around the world.
Question 17: To achieve the goal of successfully building socialism, what tasks does our Party set out?
Reply:
To achieve the goal of successfully building socialism, the Party and State need to lead all people to carry out the following tasks:
- Promote industrialization and modernization of the country associated with the development of knowledge economy;
- Developing a socialist-oriented market economy;
- Building an advanced culture imbued with national identity, building people, improving the material and spiritual life of the people, achieving social progress and justice;
- Ensure national defense and security, social order and safety;
- Implement a foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, multilateralization, diversification; peace, friendship, cooperation and development; proactively and actively integrate comprehensively and deeply into the international community;
- Building socialist democracy, promoting the will and strength of national unity, combined with the strength of the times;
- Building a socialist rule-of-law state of the people, by the people, for the people; building a clean, strong and comprehensive Party and political system.
Question 18: Why is the transition to socialism a long-term, extremely difficult and complicated task?
Reply:
The more we go into practical guidance, the more our Party realizes that the transition to socialism is a long-term, extremely difficult and complicated undertaking, because it must create profound qualitative changes in all areas of social life. Vietnam moved to socialism from a backward agricultural country, bypassing the capitalist regime; the productive forces were very low, and it had to go through decades of war, with very serious consequences; hostile forces constantly sought to sabotage, so it was even more difficult and complicated, so it was necessary to go through a long transition period with many steps, many forms of economic and social organization intertwined, with a struggle between the old and the new. To say that bypassing the capitalist regime means bypassing the capitalist regime of oppression, injustice and exploitation; ignore bad habits, institutions, and political systems that are not suitable for the socialist regime, not to mention ignoring the achievements and civilized values that humanity has achieved during the period of capitalist development. Of course, the inheritance of these achievements must also be selective from a scientific and developmental perspective.
Question 19: According to our Party's perception, what kind of economy is a socialist-oriented market economy?
Reply:
In our perception, the socialist-oriented market economy is a modern, internationally integrated market economy, operating fully and synchronously according to the laws of the market economy, under the management of the socialist rule-of-law state, led by the Communist Party of Vietnam; ensuring socialist orientation, aiming at a rich people, a strong country, a fair, democratic and civilized society. It is a new type of market economy in the history of market economy development; a type of economic organization that both follows the laws of the market economy and is based on and guided and governed by the principles and nature of socialism, expressed in all three aspects: Ownership, management organization and distribution. This is not a capitalist market economy and is not yet a full socialist market economy (because our country is still in the transition period).
Question 20: What is a basic characteristic, an important attribute of socialist orientation in the market economy in Vietnam?
Reply:
A basic characteristic, an important attribute of the socialist orientation in the market economy in Vietnam is to link the economy with society, unify economic policies with social policies, economic growth goes hand in hand with the implementation of social progress and equity in each step, each policy and throughout the development process. That means: Do not wait until the economy reaches a high level of development before implementing social progress and equity; and do not "sacrifice" social progress and equity to pursue pure economic growth. On the contrary, every economic policy must aim at the goal of social development; every social policy must aim to create a driving force to promote economic development; encouraging legal enrichment must go hand in hand with sustainable hunger eradication and poverty reduction, taking care of those with meritorious services and those in difficult circumstances. This is a principled requirement to ensure healthy, sustainable development in the direction of socialism.
Question 21: What kind of culture is the culture that our country builds?
Reply:
The culture that our country builds is an advanced culture, imbued with national identity, a culture unified in diversity, based on progressive and humanistic values; Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought play a leading role in the spiritual life of society; inherit and promote the fine traditional values of all ethnic groups in the country, absorb the achievements and quintessence of human culture, strive to build a civilized and healthy society for the true interests and dignity of people, with increasingly high levels of knowledge, morality, physical strength, lifestyle and aesthetics.
Question 22: Why does our Party pay special attention to Party building and rectification, considering this a key task of vital significance to the Party and the socialist regime?
Reply:
The Communist Party of Vietnam is the vanguard of the Vietnamese working class; the Party was born, exists and develops for the benefit of the working class, the working people and the entire nation. When the Party holds power and leads the entire nation, it is recognized by the entire people as its leading vanguard and therefore the Party is the vanguard of the working class, at the same time the vanguard of the working people and the entire Vietnamese nation. Saying so does not mean to downplay the class nature of the Party, but rather to demonstrate a deeper and more complete awareness of the class nature of the Party, because the working class is a class whose interests are unified with the interests of the working people and the entire nation. Our Party persistently takes Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh Thought as the ideological foundation and compass for revolutionary action, and takes democratic centralism as the basic organizational principle. The Party leads by its platform, strategy, policy orientations and major guidelines; through propaganda, persuasion, mobilization, organization, inspection, supervision and exemplary actions of party members; unified leadership of personnel work. Aware of the dangers to the ruling party of corruption, bureaucracy, degeneration, etc., especially in the conditions of a market economy, the Communist Party of Vietnam has set out the requirement to constantly self-renew, self-rectify, build the Party, fight against opportunism, individualism, corruption, bureaucracy, waste, degeneration, etc. within the Party and in the entire political system.
Question 23: Since implementing the renovation policy, what achievements has our country's economy achieved?
Reply:
Before Doi Moi (1986), Vietnam was a poor country that had been heavily devastated by war, leaving behind enormous consequences in terms of people, property and the ecological environment. After the war, the US and the West imposed an economic blockade and embargo on Vietnam for nearly 20 years. The regional and international situation also became complicated, causing many disadvantages for us. Food and essential goods were extremely scarce, people's lives were extremely difficult, about 3/4 of the population lived below the poverty line.
Thanks to the implementation of the renovation policy, the economy began to develop and grow continuously at a relatively high rate over the past 40 years with an average growth rate of nearly 7% per year. The GDP scale has been continuously expanded, reaching about 430 billion USD in 2023, becoming the 5th largest economy in ASEAN and 35th among the 40 largest economies in the world. GDP per capita increased 58 times, to about 4,300 USD in 2023; Vietnam has left the group of low-income countries since 2008 and will become an upper-middle-income country by 2030 (about 7,500 USD). From a country with chronic food shortages, Vietnam has not only ensured food security but also become a leading exporter of rice and many other agricultural products in the world. Industry and services have developed quite rapidly, continuously increasing and currently account for about 88% of GDP. Total import-export turnover has increased sharply, reaching nearly 700 billion USD in 2023, of which export turnover reached over 355 billion USD, trade surplus reached a record 28 billion USD; Vietnam has become the 22nd largest trading partner in the world. Foreign exchange reserves have increased sharply, reaching 100 billion USD in 2023. Foreign investment has continuously developed, with registered capital increasing by 32%, realized capital increasing by 3%, reaching 23 billion USD in 2023, the highest ever; and Vietnam has become one of the leading countries in ASEAN in attracting FDI. Vietnam's Global Innovation Index (GII) in 2023 was ranked 46th out of 132 countries by international organizations.
Question 24: After more than 30 years of re-establishing the province (1992-2023), under the leadership of the Provincial Party Committee, what outstanding achievements has the province's economy achieved?
Reply:
After 30 years of construction and development, the province's economy has developed strongly. By the end of 2021, the average GRDP per capita reached 68.4 million VND/person, 49.9 times higher than in 1992 (1.37 million VND/person), quickly narrowing the gap compared to the whole country. In 1992, it was among the lowest provinces in the country. By the end of 2020, the gap was reduced to 88.5% of the national average and ranked 31/63 compared to the whole country; equal to 92.5% of the average regional income, ranked 8/14 for the Central Coast provinces. Breakthroughs in marine economy, renewable energy, and tourism have been gradually promoted, creating opportunities to mobilize resources, create momentum, and increase the scale of the economy 69.6 times compared to 1992.

Production and business activities in some industries and fields tend to decline; the number of enterprises withdrawing from the market increases; many enterprises have to reduce staff, reduce working hours, and lay off workers; the lives of workers face many difficulties.
Disbursement of public investment capital has not met requirements. Newly registered foreign investment capital, additional registration or capital contribution and share purchase have decreased.
