(VOVworld) – Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has urged Hung Yen province, the homeland of the late Party Secretary General Nguyen Van Linh, to uphold its tradition to become wealthier.

Working with Hung Yen authorities on Sunday, Mr. Phuc said efforts should be made to develop the industry, attract investment, and protect the environment: “The province needs to renew its political determination to improve the business climate and competitiveness so as to encourage business growth and innovations. Hung Yen should attract foreign direct investment projects in hi-tech and preserving and processing agricultural produce, while creating favorable conditions for the development of small and medium-sized enterprises to generate jobs. The province should work harder to have 16,000 enterprises by 2020, doubling the current figure.”
