According to Ninh Thuan Provincial Party Secretary Nguyen Duc Thanh, the province’s Planning plays a role of special strategic importance, clearly defining the goals and establishing the vision and development space of the province in the coming period.
In order to effectively implement and turn the goals and vision of the provincial Planning into reality in the coming period, all levels of the Party committees, governments, the Fatherland Front, mass organizations, cadres, Party members, and people of the province, as well as investors, the business community, must continue to unite, work together, and wholeheartedly promote all advantages, mobilize all resources, and resolutely overcome all difficulties and challenges to successfully fulfill the goals set out in the provincial Planning, building Ninh Thuan Province to develop rapidly and sustainably, becoming a friendly and livable place, and an attractive destination for investors and tourists.

Promoting the advantages of renewable energy (wind and solar) and the sea, Ninh Thuan is expected to “look up to the sky, face the sea” to develop rapidly and sustainably, with the lesson that nothing is impossible, as the Prime Minister has shared on many occasions.
