At a working session with local leaders on Sunday, the top legislator hailed the province’s socio-economic development, with its gross regional domestic product (GRDP) in the first half of this year growing 6.51%, higher than the national average.

Notably, the number of international tourists to Thua Thien-Hue, home to the UNESCO-recognised Complex of Hue Monuments, increased nearly 27 times than in 2022.

Mr. Hue highlighted the target of building Thua Thien-Hue into a safe, friendly destination, and a land of happiness with full energy by 2050.

On this occasion, the Vietnam National Petroleum Group (Petrolimex) presented a financial package to help the province build a medical centre in Binh Thanh commune, Huong Tra town.
