PM Dung made the statement at a working session with key provincial leaders on December 9, before a trade promotion conference in Phan Thiet city on December 10 to announce Ninh Thuan’s overall socio-economic development plan until 2020.

According to the plan, which was approved by the Prime Minister, Ninh Thuan will concentrate on six issues: clean energy, tourism, agro-forestry and fisheries, clean industry, real estate and urban development, and education and training. These six sectors are expected to contribute more than 90 percent to the province’s total GDP and generate jobs for 85 percent of the local workforce.

The PM highly valued Ninh Thuan’s overall plan, saying it will help the province become a major economic hub in the south-central and Central Highlands regions.

Ninh Thuan has also been selected as the site for Vietnam’s first two nuclear power plants, which will have a combined investment of almost US$16 billion and be constructed using the world’s latest and safest technology. This is a good opportunity for Ninh Thuan to make a breakthrough in moving towards sustainable development, he added.
