The province has set some key tasks and solutions to achieve the targets: GRDP growth of 7.6%, state budget collection of 18.61 trillion VND, export turnover of 3.25 billion USD, and 7.5 million tourists.

Accordingly, the province will fully tap potential, unique values of history and culture of the ancient capital as well as outstanding values of the Trang An world natural and cultural heritage for socio-economic development.

While analysing advantages and disadvantages faced by Ninh Binh, Secretary of the provincial Party Committee Doan Minh Huan stressed that the provincial People's Committee, local administrations at all levels and sectors need to focus on expediting tasks of luring investment; restructuring sectors and regions; preserving and promoting values of rural areas in the process of urbanisation and building new-style rural areas as well as building an administration model for a heritage city.

With its convenient geological location, Ninh Binh boasts great opportunities to boost socio-economic and cultural exchanges with cities and provinces in the Red River Delta and the northern coastal region.

Moreover, Ninh Binh holds a strategic location in the coastal corridor that aims to boost economic activities for fast and sustainable growth.

These are foundations and momentum for Ninh Binh to fulfill the set targets, contributing to the development of the province and the whole country.
