According to the provincial Department of Planning and Investment, there was positive socio-economic development in most areas, with industrial production estimated at over VND2 trillion in August, a year-on-year increase of 7.9%; the fisheries output accounting for 68.8% of the whole year in the first 8 months.
Meanwhile, the number of tourists to the province increased, with tourism revenue rising by 15%.
The province gained over USD85 million in August exports, and its state budget contributions over the first 8 months are estimated at over VND20 trillion.

He also requested departments and localities to prepare for a new school-year, reduce work and traffic accidents, ensure waterway traffic safety, prevent illegal trade and trade fraud, practice to implement the national defence rehearsal, and make plans for 2014./.
