Speaking at the beginning of the conference, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Duong Van An emphasized that, after 30 years of construction and development, Binh Thuan has promoted its revolutionary tradition, mobilized resources, and gradually effectively exploited the potential and advantages. As a result, the province's economy grew quite rapidly, with an average annual growth rate higher than the national average, creating a considerable change in growth model innovation; the estimated GRDP value in 2022 is 94,858 billion VND (24.24 times higher than in 1992). However, despite these accomplishments, the province's economic structure is still changing slowly, and the quality of growth is not high. Industrial production has become unbalanced, with no effective use of local raw materials. In the context of high competition, the province still has many "bottlenecks," causing obstacles in the process of attracting investment and thus losing development opportunities.
According to the Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Binh Thuan now has many new opportunities, including the active removal of overlapping titanium planning, the project of Phan Thiet Airport, and the North-South Expressway (eastward) passing through Binh Thuan. Many investors have chosen to invest in Binh Thuan. As a result, the question is what needs to be done to develop the province quickly and sustainably based on its prospects and advantages.
Former provincial leaders attended the seminar
The delegates made numerous important presentations at the conference, referring to Binh Thuan's significant breakthrough after 30 years of re-establishing the province; capitalizing on opportunities, capabilities, and strengths for development.

Mr. Long affirmed that in recent years, tourism in Binh Thuan has changed and evolved positively in many aspects. Therefore, it has contributed to the effective transformation of the economic and labor structures of Binh Thuan, forming sustainable livelihoods in many coastal areas, islands, etc. Simultaneously, it is proposed that relevant levels and sectors need to create all the favorable conditions, study mechanisms, and regulating policies to advance this special functional area.
