During the meeting, the localities frankly acknowledged many shortcomings and limitations, such as the small scale of the economy, which is not commensurate with its potential; slow progress in land clearance; difficulties in creating clean land funds; inconsistent infrastructure; and a shortage of high-quality human resources. Some localities also have low budget revenue collection rates.

The head of the Department of Finance spoke at the meeting.

Communes and wards have requested the province to prioritize the allocation of resources for investment in technical infrastructure, education, health, and culture; to resolve obstacles related to land, planning, and site clearance; to supplement staffing in areas where there is a shortage; to invest in information technology infrastructure to support digital transformation; and to provide mechanisms to support the development of coastal tourism, marine economy, and aquaculture.

Concluding the working session, Do Huu Huy, Alternate Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee, emphasized: The eastern coastal area has a particularly important position, is a strategic development space, and plays a driving role in the province's growth in the coming period.

With advantages in marine economy, tourism, trade and services, aquaculture and fisheries, along with significant potential for urban, industrial, and logistics development, coastal localities need to proactively and effectively exploit their existing potential and advantages to create stronger development.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested that communes and wards clearly identify bottlenecks, especially in land management, planning, compensation, site clearance, and the creation of clean land funds, in order to promptly resolve them. This is identified as a key and urgent task to create conditions for attracting large investment projects, promoting infrastructure development, services, and key economic sectors. Along with this, localities need to prioritize completing essential infrastructure systems, accelerating administrative procedure reforms, improving the investment and business environment, and creating favorable conditions for people and businesses.

Leaders of communes and wards must clearly demonstrate a sense of responsibility and make specific commitments regarding the progress of implementation, especially for land clearance work for key projects.

The Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also requested that departments and agencies strengthen coordination with localities, proactively guide and promptly resolve difficulties related to mechanisms, policies, investment procedures, land and planning; create the most favorable conditions for the eastern coastal area to play an important growth pole role for the province, striving to achieve double-digit growth in 2026.
