The Quang Ninh provincial People’s Committee has issued a decision on the overall plan for socio-economic development of Tien Yen district by 2020, with a vision to 2030.

Accordingly, the overall plan targets promoting the potential and comparative advantages of the natural resources and location of the district, taking agriculture, forestry and fishing as the foundation and using standard of service and trade volume as the key components to provide a breakthrough to create rapid and sustainable development.

Tien Yen will be built into urban area type 4 in the 2016-2017 period and the commune will become an intermediary location to gather and transport good via border gate and logistics establishment for open industrial zones.

Specific goals given in the plan are an economic growth rate of 14% between 2016 and 2020 and 12.7% between 2021 and 2030; poverty reduction of less than 2% during 2016-2020 period.

The plan targets helping four communes escape from especially difficult situation, achieving 65% of trained workers by 2020 (including 50% of ethnic people) and providing fresh water to 100% urban population./.
