Regarding key directions, tasks, and solutions, the Prime Minister directed the vigorous and synchronized implementation of solutions to achieve economic growth (GRDP) of 10-10.5% in 2026 and maintain it continuously in subsequent years.

The province values state resources as a leading source of capital, activating all social capital; encouraging investment in Cambodia; and promoting payments in local currencies between the two countries. Tay Ninh is focusing on developing science and technology and the innovation ecosystem, digital transformation, and leveraging its proximity to Ho Chi Minh City. At the same time, the province is preparing the conditions to commence construction of at least one high-tech park and one innovation center in the first quarter of 2026.

The province will continue to effectively implement the Social Housing Development Project according to the targets set by the Government for 2026. Tay Ninh will strengthen its capacity to adapt to climate change, manage resources, and protect the environment.

The Prime Minister requested Tay Ninh province to do a good job of maintaining political security and ensuring social order and safety, especially in religious areas, border regions, and areas critical to security and order.
