Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong has hailed southern Dong Nai
province’s performance in socio-economic development and the
implementation of the Resolution on Party building.
At a working session with Dong Nai’s senior officials on March 28,
Trong said Dong Nai has taken the right track, with suitable methods and
a good dose of creativity.
He noted that the
province has achieved well-balanced and continuous development in all
aspects, consistently marching towards the goal of becoming an
industrialised locality by 2015.
He expressed his
hope that Dong Nai will further strengthen its crucially important role
and position in the southern key economic area on the basis of fully
making use of its advantages in land, geographical location and
infrastructure.
The Party leader also asked the
province to keep up the good job in implementing the Party Central
Committee’s Resolution on Party building. He said the initial outcomes
of criticism and self-criticism in Dong Nai can be summed up to be the
lesson for other localities.
A report from the
local authorities said last year, the province’s GDP rose by 12.1
percent from 2011, with per capital GDP reaching 41.5 million VND
(2,000 USD). In the first quarter of this year, the growth rate was 10.6
percent compared to the same period of last year.
Regarding the implementation of the Party Resolution on Party building,
the report cited the results of a public poll among 1,000 workers,
farmers, intellectuals, businesses and religious and ethnic sectors,
which showed that 86 percent of respondents said they trust the Party
committees at all levels and 78 percent claimed that the Party’s
prestige has picked up. In addition, 89.1 percent of respondents noted
improvement in the working attitude among public servants.
The same day, Trong visited the Dong Nai Food Industry Corporation, a
State-owned holding company. Eight years after its establishment, the
State group now has 32 subsidiaries working in agriculture, industry,
trade, service and tourism, generating jobs for nearly 10,000 workers
with a monthly income of 6 million VND (300 USD).
In
his talks with the workers, the Party leader stressed that the State
economic sector should play the guiding role, while State-run businesses
have the key role in the economy. He said the State and collective
economic sectors are the foundation of the national economy, while being
equal to all other economic sectors in development.-VNA
