The Acting President stated that Vietnam faced many difficulties last year due to the global context and internal economic problems. However, the country achieved many important and comprehensive accomplishments.

Vietnam is currently a shining example in socio-economic recovery and development, highly regarded by countries and international organizations, including the United Nations; ranking 35th in the world in terms of economic size with a value of 435 billion USD.

Our country is also among the top 20 countries in attracting foreign investment and top 20 in terms of import and export turnover in the world. With a high degree of economic openness, reaching nearly 200% of its GDP, Vietnam is a dynamic economy in ASEAN.

"With its potential and economic recovery, and its shrewd and flexible foreign policy in the context of numerous difficulties and challenges, Vietnam has maintained a peaceful and developing environment, making it a bright spot in attracting foreign investment," Ms. Xuan said, adding that foreign investors create a positive atmosphere and momentum not only for Binh Dinh but also for the Central Coast and Central Highlands regions.

According to the Acting President, this achievement is due to the contributions of the Party committees and people of the 10 provinces in the Central Coast and Central Highlands; and the region's advantages such as marine economy and logistics.

"We must attract major investors and develop services that will make Vietnam the first country that comes to mind when people think of tourism. We must set goals and a vision to make the country a world-class tourist destination," the Acting President shared.

The Central Coast and Central Highlands regions include the provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai, Binh Dinh, Phu Yen, Khanh Hoa, Lam Dong, Gia Lai, Kon Tum, Dak Lak, and Dak Nong.
