The “government of dialogue” must be the follow-traveler of businesses and make clear commitments to investors, the Government chief added.
At the conference joined by 400 investors, the PM pointed out that Gia Lai’s economic scale remains below the country’s average with the lack of brands well-known in the region and the world.
Underlining the importance of the central highlands, including Gia Lai province, PM Phuc said the Government will continue to fund for upgrading major national highways like Highway No. 19, Phu Yen-Gia Lai road, Ho Chi Minh Trail, as well as airports and other facilities to expand trade exchanges between Gia Lai and the nearby economic regions.
He tasked the province to devise a sustainable development planning scheme which must figure out ways to fully exploit its advantages and attach importance to the development of organic agriculture.
Gia Lai has so far attracted five foreign-invested projects worth a modest 12 million USD, ranking 61st out of 63 cities and provinces nationwide. Its provincial competitiveness index ranks 47th nationally./.
