According to the assessment of the Politburo , the development index in many areas of the North Central and Central Coast is lower than the national average. The potential and advantages of the region, especially the marine economy, have not been exploited properly and effectively. The development of coastal economic zones and seaports is not commensurate with the potential and advantages...

Quy Nhon Port (Binh Dinh), the gateway to the sea of the Central Highlands provinces
Currently, many provinces and cities in the Central region have signed cooperation and association agreements with neighboring provinces to plan and orient economic development. In particular, the Provincial Party Committees of Thanh Hoa - Nghe An - Ha Tinh provinces have signed a memorandum of understanding on development cooperation for the period 2022 - 2025. The leaders of these provinces have identified cooperation and association with neighboring localities as a cross-cutting task for socio-economic development, especially promoting the development linkage of the southern Nghe An - northern Ha Tinh region and the southern Thanh Hoa - northern Nghe An region according to the planning approved by the Prime Minister.
According to the People's Committee of Nghe An province, the planning of the northern part of the province will be linked to the southern part of Thanh Hoa. In particular, step by step development and urbanization will expand Hoang Mai town to some areas of Quynh Luu district (Nghe An) linked to the development of Nghi Son Economic Zone (Thanh Hoa) and Dong Hoi seaport (Nghe An). Nghe An province will also develop Hoang Mai and Dong Hoi industrial parks with processing and manufacturing industries, electronics industries and industries, and support services for large projects in the Southeast Economic Zone (Nghe An) and Nghi Son Economic Zone.
To the south, Nghe An will be linked with the north of Ha Tinh, developing space and connecting the two sides of Lam River, including the expanded Vinh City (Nghe An) area and Nghi Xuan area (Ha Tinh) to have unified development orientations, support sharing of functions, and promote the potential advantages of each area.

UNIFIED MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION
According to Mr. Ho Quoc Dung, Secretary of Binh Dinh Provincial Party Committee, in order to develop the whole region, the Government needs to soon complete the National Master Plan, regional planning, and at the same time have synchronous and unified mechanisms and policies for the whole region to create a driving force for development; promote intra-regional and sub-regional linkages, and in regional planning, sub-regions should be formed in a multi-functional direction. Currently, localities in the North Central and Central Coast regions still have a very large coastal land fund with many advantages. Therefore, it is necessary to create a breakthrough in faster development of maritime transport infrastructure, the North-South Expressway, routes connecting the East with the West, developing airport and seaport infrastructure, etc. to promote the advantage of being the gateway to the sea of the provinces in the region, thereby promoting the development of the marine economy.
"When the coastal dynamic route forms an inter-regional connection, the Government is requested to direct the planning and construction of a unified coastal economic axis, in which priority is given to the development of economic zones as the core to promote and support the development of the marine economy. At the same time, direct a comprehensive review and adjustment of the development of functional sub-regions in economic zones to ensure mutual support and avoid competition between economic zones," said Mr. Ho Quoc Dung.
At the Conference on the implementation of the Government's Action Program to implement Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW (held in Binh Dinh on February 5, 2023), Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested to do a good job of planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050, to coordinate and manage in a unified manner, ensuring connectivity, synchronization, unity, efficiency and sustainable development. Identifying planning as a key task, planning must be one step ahead, with a long-term, strategic vision, both promoting potential and strengths and overcoming limitations. Forming inter-provincial and inter-regional industry clusters associated with strong marine economic centers.
PROMOTING MARINE ECONOMY
Promoting the transformation of regional economic structures, promoting the development of the marine economy, focusing on the strong development of urban systems, especially coastal urban systems... are also solutions proposed by the Politburo and the Government to build and develop the North Central and Central Coast regions. Developing a regional urban system with synchronous and modern technical and social infrastructure according to the model and criteria of green growth, smart and ecological urban areas, effectively adapting to climate change, connecting domestically and internationally, considering this as one of the breakthroughs for regional development.
Accordingly, the Politburo oriented the development of urban networks associated with the development of economic zones, industrial parks, high-tech parks, industrial clusters, border economic zones, trade and service centers in a multi-center direction to create a closely linked network between localities in the North Central and Central Coast regions. Forming 3 urbanized sub-regions in the North Central, Central Central and South Central regions. Developing central urban areas, nuclear urban areas at the regional and sub-regional levels such as: building and developing Thua Thien-Hue province and Khanh Hoa province into centrally-run cities, building Da Nang into a regional international financial center, developing Ly Son island district (Quang Ngai) into a sea and island tourism center.
Marine economic sectors are focused on development such as: marine tourism and services, maritime economy, exploitation of oil and gas and other marine mineral resources, aquaculture and seafood exploitation, coastal industry, renewable energy (onshore and offshore wind energy), new marine economic sectors. Focus resources on developing seaports with the potential to become special seaports, especially seaports in Thanh Hoa, Nghe An, Da Nang and Khanh Hoa.
According to Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Le Minh Hoan, to develop the marine economy, the Central region needs to reorganize seafood exploitation activities, restructure occupations, and restructure labor in accordance with natural conditions, customs, and the capacity of each household. Encourage the development of marine aquaculture, associated with environmentally friendly marine ecotourism.
"It is time for us to change the stereotype that tourism goes where seafood goes. Now it is different, tourism and aquaculture can support each other, through activities to educate tourists about environmental awareness. To achieve this goal, fishing service vessels at sea and logistics service stations on islands need to be improved in efficiency, and fishing centers must continue to be invested in and upgraded. Fishing ports no longer only receive fishing vessels but must be operated in a multi-functional direction, combining tourism, creating community spaces to provide knowledge about marine and ocean conservation...", said Minister Le Minh Hoan.
Deputy Minister of Natural Resources and Environment Tran Quy Kien said that in the North Central and Central Coast regions, it is necessary to focus on developing a blue marine economy, opening up to the sea, forming key economic sectors such as: marine tourism, maritime, renewable energy, marine biotechnology... Developing economic zones, export processing zones, industrial parks, services and urban areas in this region according to the circular economic model to connect the green energy - green production economic ecosystem and the seaport system to take the lead in green transformation, integrating the trend of the times to help products overcome strict environmental barriers and carbon standards, participate in the global supply chain and penetrate the markets of developed countries.
