Second, focus on developing traffic infrastructure and industrial park infrastructure, drastically deploy investment procedures, especially site clearance, and prepare conditions to attract a new wave of investment moving to Vietnam, of which Hai Phong is a locality with many advantages. Priority is given to the development of processing, manufacturing, and high-tech, environmentally friendly industries so that Hai Phong becomes a major industrial center of the country.

Third, develop Hai Phong into an international tourism center, the focus is on accelerating the progress of large projects on tourism infrastructure development that have been and are being implemented in the areas of Do Son, Cat Hai - Cat Ba, and Vu Yen island.
