Praising Hải Phòng's efforts and achievements in various fields, PM Nguyễn Tấn Dũng said that the city's development is not really corresponding to its potentialities. The Government leader pointed out what the city should do to obtain a fast and sustainable development, becoming a modern industrial center prior to 2020.
The PM stressed the need to build Hải Phòng a big service and industrial center and the country's major gateway for international and regional trade. It is necessary to focus on such industries as shipbuilding, steel rolling, supportive industries, financial service, banking, and seaport, he suggested.
With the city's advantages and in the favorable conditions of the country, the city government should renew their way of thinking to mobilize investment capitals from the whole society rather than rely on State budget. The PM asked the city's agencies and bodies to seriously consider and find out the reasons of ineffective attraction of direct investment. According to the PM, it is important to promote administrative reform, especially administrative procedures, which is a vital measure to increase foreign investment. Attention should be paid to education, vocational training, and job generation, he added.
