Possible goals
According to leaders of departments and industries, the plan proposed by the provincial People's Committee is feasible. Because at present, Khanh Hoa is considered to be a province having a relatively active development and convenient geographical position. Khanh Hoa has a strategic location as it is close to international maritime routes, convenient for road, rail and sea traffic, so it has many potentials for marine economic development. Tran Hoa Nam - Director of provincial Department of Planning and Investment said, “In the next 10 years, our investment attraction will mainly focus on Van Phong. The plan to attract FDI over 7 billion USD is a quite large number. However, just one motivational project to invest in Van Phong can exceed this number. Recently, the Millenium Petroleum Corporation (USA) has applied for a gas power project with a scale of up to USD15 billion”.
In order to improve the quality and efficiency of foreign investment cooperation to 2030, Le Huu Hoang - Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested departments, agencies and People's Committees to be responsible for building programs and specific tasks to implement the objectives of the Provincial Party Standing Committee; strengthen review, inspection and supervision of the implementation of the law as well as promptly remove difficulties and problems for FDI projects. The Provincial People's Committee has assigned the Department of Planning and Investment to regularly monitor, urge and inspect the implementation of departments, branches and localities; periodically summarizing the situation and submitting to the Provincial People's Committee to report to the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee.
