Pilot projects should select content and linkage models that ensure practical effectiveness for each locality in the region; replicate effective linkage models that are unique, attractive, and distinctly superior to those in other regions and areas of the country; and research the establishment of sub-regional linkages based on geographical location or the potential and strengths of each area.

The Deputy Prime Minister also suggested that localities in the region should share information and learn from each other's experiences in order to agree on practical cooperation plans, ensuring that they create momentum for mutual development and avoid overlapping infrastructure investments that cause waste, as well as prevent competition and conflicts of interest.
The Ministry of Information and Communications is building a regional database to facilitate local access to information, thereby enabling them to propose appropriate cooperation content. Central ministries and agencies are paying attention to supporting and assisting localities in the region in implementing joint programs.
On November 3, 2022, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 26-NQ/TW on the direction of socio-economic development and ensuring national defense and security in the North Central and Central Coastal regions until 2030, with a vision to 2045.
By 2030, the North Central and Central Coastal regions of Vietnam aim to become dynamic, rapidly developing, and sustainable areas with a strong marine economy; possessing a synchronous and modern socio-economic infrastructure, highly resilient to natural disasters and epidemics, and effectively adapting to climate change; having several major industrial, service, and international cooperation centers of the country, with coastal economic zones and coastal urban systems meeting national and regional standards; serving as a gateway to the sea for the Central Highlands and neighboring Laos; preserving and promoting cultural, historical, and marine ecosystem values; continuously improving the material and spiritual lives of the people; firmly ensuring national defense, security, and sovereignty over the sea and islands; strengthening Party organizations and the political system; and enhancing national unity.
The vision for 2045 is for the North Central and Central Coastal regions to be rapidly and sustainably developed; with several major industrial, service, and international cooperation centers on par with those in Asia, featuring modern coastal economic zones, smart and sustainable coastal urban systems with unique identities, and environmentally friendly characteristics.
