Permanent Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh spoke at the conference

Speaking at the meeting, Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Nguyen Tuan Thanh said that in the first quarter, the agricultural sector had a good growth rate of 3.43% thanks to favorable weather conditions and high prices of livestock products compared to the same period. In the second quarter, the Department of Agriculture and Environment coordinated with localities to harvest winter-spring crops, ensuring success; focusing on converting crop structures, especially crops with strengths and stable consumption markets; continuing to focus on developing livestock herds along with disease prevention measures; coordinating with localities and investors to implement 2 agricultural and livestock processing plant projects. In addition, the Department of Industry and Trade coordinated with districts and cooperatives to organize focal points to consume OCOP products and agricultural products with strengths of the province. Localities increased the collection and treatment of solid waste and household waste, and soon developed and completed the collection price list. Strengthen the management of mineral resources, calculate and ensure unit prices, volumes, and scope of exploitation of mineral mines in the area and financial responsibilities of mine owners to the state; focus on completing land data.

The Standing Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee noted that the Department of Finance, relevant departments and localities should review district-level and commune-level projects using public investment capital that are being implemented, urge implementation, strive to complete before June 30, and projects that cannot be completed within this time frame should be transferred to the provincial Project Management Boards for continued implementation. At the same time, review and calculate the amount of outstanding construction debt (provincial-level construction debt is 155 billion, district-level is 419 billion, commune is 1,372 billion), each project must be reviewed, with a specific plan and solution or recommendations and proposals to competent authorities for consideration and guidance on resolution, with the goal of completion before June 30. In addition, it is necessary to increase savings and combat waste, especially cultural works, facilities and institutions in localities to implement the merger of commune-level administrative units.

Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan gave a speech at the conference.

Concluding the conference, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan said that the socio-economic development results in the first quarter had many bright spots, with GRDP increasing by 7.51%, the result of many years of efforts. Most importantly, the entire political system is united and determined for the common work, for the homeland of Binh Dinh, despite being affected by the political task of streamlining the organizational apparatus and the upcoming merger of the province, not organizing the district level, merging a number of communes. The work of restructuring the organizational apparatus in the province was carried out very quickly and the apparatus operated smoothly, unitedly, meeting the requirements of solving work. Another positive highlight is that investment promotion activities have had positive changes, many investors are very interested in Binh Dinh.

According to the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, the "capital" of newly registered investors in the province, plus the energy projects that can be implemented, with a total amount of about 300,000 billion VND. This also clearly shows the "falling point" and "ripe point" of Binh Dinh province in attracting investment. If the province only takes care of and promptly supports investors to implement these projects until 2030-2035, the economic scale of Binh Dinh will be completely different. Binh Dinh must try to take care of, support the best, retain investors to implement projects and spread, attract more new investors and new projects.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also pointed out the shortcomings and limitations in socio-economic development in the first quarter. It is worrying that some localities have not shown clear determination to carry out key and breakthrough tasks. The development of science and technology and innovation is still slow. The work of site clearance for projects in the province is still "problematic" and progress is slow.

Regarding the key tasks in the second quarter of 2025, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Pham Anh Tuan emphasized that this is a turning point for the province. The political system must still be aware and determined to carry out the assigned tasks. The first important task is that departments, branches, and localities must focus on the work of arranging the province and communes and deploying the new apparatus from July 1. The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee hopes that whoever is in charge will arrange, and whoever is working must continue to work, without interruption.

Accordingly, departments, branches and localities focus on socio-economic management to ensure growth of over 8.5%. The first quarter achieved 7.51%, so if determined, the second quarter can reach 9%. Focus on implementing major signed projects, especially leading projects, and try to resolve procedures related to these projects in April. More importantly, the province's major tasks must be resolved before July 1 to ensure economic growth as required by the Government. Review backlogs, backlog projects, and outstanding construction debts to find solutions in the next 3 months. Resolutely implement social security programs, especially the program to eliminate dilapidated temporary houses in May. Continue to manage socio-economic development in the spirit of "6 clear", focusing on administrative reform, with the goal of cutting 30% of administrative procedures and time to resolve administrative procedures.
