While working with local authorities over the past two days, Manh urged Nam Dinh to participate in a scheme to turn its eponymous provincial capital into the southern Red River delta’s socio-economic and cultural center.
Nam Dinh should further boost agricultural production in parallel with industrial and service development, with priority beinggiven to processing in order to bolster agricultural production and increase rural industrialization and modernization, the party leader said.
In addition, Manh stated that the province should maintain and expand the production of traditional crafts, with increased cooperation from localities that have the materials and manpower to develop these occupations.
Nam Dinh achieved economic growth of 9.15 percent in the first six months of this year, with rapid restructuring seen in the industrial sector and improved efficiency in agricultural production.
However, the party leader noted that Nam Dinh remains in the group of localities with low economic growth and its actual economic development has failed to live up to its potential.
The general secretary also cited low product value and the processing industry’s low efficiency as weaknesses that the province should focus on addressing.
Whilst in Nam Dinh, the party leader attended a ceremony to mark the start of the new 2008-2009 school year at the Hai Hau High School, one of the province’s flagship schools which has achieved outstanding performances in both teaching and studying.
