He suggested that the new province clearly define the development axes: coast-seaport-municipality; midland-industry-service; mountain-agriculture-ecotourism.
Economic development must go hand in hand with protecting the environment, preserving local cultural identity, and improving the lives of people in disadvantaged areas, Mr. Lam said and called for focused investment in essential infrastructure, basic social services in remote areas, especially mountainous communes, border and ethnic minority areas.
