Comrade Nguyen Cao Son, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized: This is an important working session, serving as a basis for developing a master plan for the province's industrial zones and clusters, thereby integrating it into the Provincial Planning. The province identifies industry as a growth driver, so it is necessary to soon develop a master plan for industrial development, ensuring reasonable land allocation for this sector, clearly defining land funds for each industry, in order to create conditions for synchronous development.

He suggested that, in order to increase attractiveness to investors, the province should focus on promoting infrastructure connections between industrial zones and clusters; build a mechanism for close coordination with departments and branches to have policies to support site clearance in accordance with current regulations; complete infrastructure for industrial zones invested by the State; and continue to review and urge the implementation of land use planning for industrial development, ensuring consistency and efficiency in the implementation process.

Comrade Pham Quang Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee delivered a concluding speech at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Comrade Pham Quang Ngoc, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized: After the merger, Ninh Binh has more favorable conditions in terms of geographical location and development space, creating an important premise to promote industrial development, promote economic restructuring and urban - service development. He requested all levels and sectors to have a comprehensive mindset, viewpoint and vision on industrial development in the province; clearly identify the nature and role of each industrial park to have appropriate investment orientation and investment attraction plans.

Regarding industrial parks, he directed the Department of Industry and Trade to coordinate with sectors and localities to review all small-scale industrial parks to assess the level of infrastructure completion; assess the infrastructure completion for industrial parks with 1-2 projects; for industrial parks with completed infrastructure, no further investment will be made for expansion; industrial parks with too small a scale that do not meet development requirements will be removed from the planning. Particularly for craft village industrial parks, it is necessary to pay attention to gradually investing in technical infrastructure, ensuring production conditions and environmental protection requirements.

Regarding industrial parks, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested the Provincial Economic Zone and Industrial Park Management Board to review and evaluate the infrastructure of industrial parks invested by the State; at the same time, reorganize and restructure the infrastructure management units for industrial parks, thereby having a complete investment plan, innovation in exploitation and operation associated with allocating public budget resources to complete infrastructure and innovate operating models, creating motivation to attract secondary investors.

He assigned the Department of Finance to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments and branches to review the progress of investment projects, clarify the purpose of the extension and adjustment of progress; and resolutely revoke projects that are slow to implement and do not meet the conditions according to regulations.

To enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of state management of economic zones, industrial parks and industrial clusters, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee assigned the Management Board of Economic Zones and Industrial Zones to develop a project for the overall development of the province's economic zones and industrial clusters, clearly defining the development orientation and assigning specific responsibilities to each sector and unit. The consistent viewpoint of the province is to build industrial zones associated with services and urban areas, so that industry can truly become the driving force for socio-economic development. Resolutely prioritize attracting high-tech and clean-tech projects, minimizing labor- and land-intensive projects.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee emphasized that, in the face of the development reality of the new era, it is required to continue to strongly innovate the investment environment, create substantial changes, and actively contribute to the overall development of the province, striving to turn Ninh Binh into a centrally-run city by 2030.
