Speaking at the event, Deputy Prime Minister Truong Hoa Binh said it is the first locality nationwide to hold such an event after Vietnam has initially brought COVID-19 under control.
He expressed his hope that Thanh Hoa will capitalise on its advantages to gain prominent socio-economic achievements in the coming time and stay among the country’s leading localities by 2025.
To realise the target, the province needs to complete its planning for the 2021-30, with a vision to 2045, he noted, urging local authorities to timely remove bottlenecks and create optimal conditions for businesses.
At the event, as many as 34 projects with a combined investment of nearly 15 billion USD were granted permission. They were in processing and manufacturing industry, urban development, tourism and health care, among others.
At a similar event held in 2017, some 31 projects of a total 6.3 billion USD were approved and six of them so far have been completed./.
