NINH THUẬN — The south-central coastal province of Ninh Thuận has set its sights on becoming a dynamic, fast-growing and sustainable development hub, with the maritime and urban economies playing significant roles in driving its growth. 

Under a plan approved by the Prime Minister for the  二0 二 一- 三0 period with a vision to  二0 五0, the province will concentrate its efforts on the southern region, laying the foundation for a coastal economic zone.

By  二0 三0, the province aims to attain an above-average per capita income, placing it within the high middle-income tier nationally.

The province will also endeavour to reach an average annual Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth rate of  一0- 一 一 per cent between  二0 二 一 and  二0 三0, in which the agriculture-forestry-fisheries sector accounts for  一 二- 一 三 per cent, industrial and construction  五 三- 五 四 per cent, services  三 四- 三 五 per cent, and tax-less-subsidies on products for  二- 三 per cent.  

The province also strives to have the digital economy contribute about  三0 per cent of GRDP by  二0 三0.

The industrial sector will account for  四0 per cent of the province's total GRDP. Meanwhile, the agriculture sector will make use of advanced technology and contribute  七- 八 per cent of the province's GRDP.

GRDP per capita is expected to reach VNĐ 二00 million (US$ 八, 二00) per year. The figure for population growth is set at  一. 八 九 per cent per year. 

The rate of trained workers reaches  七 五- 八0 per cent. The Human Development Index (HDI) is targeted to be at the national average level.

The urbanisation rate is aimed at around  五 五- 五 六 per cent. Poverty rates would be kept well below  二 per cent.  

Ninh Thuận has set out to bolster its transportation networks to cater to the specific demands of each urban area across the province. 

A key part of this plan involves the development of Ninh Thuận's seaport system, including the Cà Ná and Ninh Chữ port zones, which serve as comprehensive national ports. These ports play a regional hub role, handling general cargo, containers and liquefied gas.

Under the plan, by  二0 三0, energy and renewable energy will account for about  一 二 per cent of the province's GRDP, contributing  七. 三 per cent of the total employment opportunities in the province.

The focus is on harnessing the natural advantages of abundant sunlight and wind to develop solar power, onshore and offshore wind power, liquefied-natural-gas (LNG) power, pumped storage hydropower and new energy sources.

By  二0 三0, tourism will have evolved into a pivotal and sustainable economic sector, contributing  一 五 per cent of the entire province's GRDP.

Ninh Thuận aims to become an exceptionally attractive destination with high regional and national competitiveness. 

The province is co妹妹itted to efficiently maintaining and managing its economic and social infrastructure, actively responding to natural disasters, diseases and climate change. 

A key part of this strategy involves ensuring a sustainable and equitable supply of water resources to drive socio-economic progress. 

Ninh Thuận is also dedicated to preserving and honouring its rich and diverse cultural heritage, while simultaneously raising living standards and quality of life for its residents. 

Robust national defence and security measures will be implemented to ensure the province's long-term stability. — VNS
