Dear Congress!
To improve the effectiveness of attracting investment in the field of manufacturing and processing industry, high-tech industry contributes to strongly developing industry in a modern, smart and sustainable direction, which is the pillar to promote the city's economic breakthrough. Here, on behalf of the Economic Zone Management Board, I would like to propose some of the following main tasks and solutions:
– One is: Implement strong, synchronized solutions to attract investment. Along with that, we are taking full advantage of the support of the Central Government, the Government and Ministries and branches, especially the Ministry of Planning and Investment in terms of policies and resources as well as promoting the settlement of administrative procedures so that the city can quickly invite investors with strong financial capacity and experience to invest and build 15 new industrial parks with a total area of 6,418 hectares approved in Program No. 76 of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee to implement Resolution 45 of the Politburo. At the same time, in order to fully prepare favorable conditions to attract investors to build infrastructure of industrial parks and invest in industrial parks.industry, the city needs to drastically implement investment procedures, especially compensation and site clearance. Continue to mobilize all resources to complete the technical infrastructure system, especially investing in completing transportation infrastructure in a synchronous, modern, and strategically meaningful manner such as projects: Construction of the next wharves of Hai Phong International Gateway Port; Construction of Terminal 02 and cargo logistics area of Cat Bi International Airport; coastal road section through Hai Phong; Construction of Tan Vu - Lach Huyen 2 road and bridge.
– Second: Focus on breakthrough solutions to attract leading domestic and foreign businesses, especially prioritizing businesses that have a leading role, have high technology, products that can participate in the global value chain, are committed to technology transfer, corporate governance and have the ability to make large contributions to the city budget. At the same time, build and apply technical barriers in the process of considering and deciding on new projects, aiming to attract selective, quality investment in accordance with the structural orientation of the city's economy, meeting the requirements of sustainable development. Specifically, high-tech projects, new technology, modern management, low resource use, and high impact.secure and link with domestic businesses along the value chain; Focus on developing key industries such as: mechanical engineering (with automobile products, machinery, equipment serving the marine economy), electronics - information technology (with electronic equipment products, refrigeration, and high-tech industrial products).
Build a mechanism to encourage foreign invested enterprises to participate in training to improve skills and qualifications for workers; Training must achieve goals, associated with the business's usage requirements in terms of both quantity and quality.
Third:From the experience of countries that have successfully implemented industrialization, it shows that: The processing and manufacturing industry is always an important sub-sector, with its contribution to GDP maintained at 20-30% or more. However, one of the biggest difficulties in attracting investment in the processing and manufacturing industry is the limitations of the supporting industrial base. Therefore, the Economic Zone Management Board will preside over and coordinate with consulting industries to lead the city on strategic solutions to attract businesses to invest in supporting industries and create products to participate in the global value chain, such as: Building a supporting industry development program; Central constructionTechnical center to support the city's industrial development; Attract investment in the construction of concentrated supporting industrial parks, especially High-Tech Parks, Information Technology Parks and Research and Development (R&D) Centers of leading multinational corporations in the region and the world.
– Fourth:In order to prepare the conditions to attract a new wave of investment to Vietnam, of which Hai Phong is a locality with many advantages, in the coming time, the Economic Zone Management Board will focus on reviewing and improving the quality of management, organizing the implementation of tasks to promote investment, especially handling administrative procedures at the Board in a streamlined, effective, one-stop manner, with the motto: Accompany, support Support for businesses and investors. At the same time, urgently advise the City People's Committee to continue to decentralize and authorize maximum tasks under the authority of the Economic Zone Management Board with the administrative procedure focal point agency, in which, well implementing the key goal of reducing procedures, reducing time, and reducing costs for businesses.
We believe that with strong commitments, drastic actions of city leaders, synchronous participation and responsibility of departments, branches and localities, in the coming time our city will put into operation and exploit 15 industrial parks with a total area of over 6000 hectares. By 2025, with an occupancy rate of about 30%, along with promoting attraction to increase the occupancy rate of existing industrial parks, the investment attraction of industrial parks in the city can cumulatively reach 40 billion USD; Export turnover reached about 30 billion US dollars; creating jobs for over 300,000 workers... This will be a great resource to promote the city's strong economic development, contributing to bringing Hai Phong soon into the future.into a modern, smart and sustainable industrial city of Southeast Asian stature in accordance with the spirit of Resolution 45-NQ/TW of the Politburo on building and developing Hai Phong city to 2030, with a vision to 2045.
Before stopping the discussion, I once again ask for good health and happiness for all delegates and the entire Congress.
Wish the Congress a great success.
