Lam Dong asked to speed up economic restructuring

The Central Highland Province of Lam Dong needed to quicken its economic restructuring, Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai said during a meeting with its senior officials yesterday.

The province had not fully explored, or exploited, its potential for the processing of agricultural produce or small thermal power generation, he said.

The deputy prime minister asked participants at the meeting to focus on the implementation of group solutions, the exploration of comparative and potential advantage and sustainable socio-economic development.

Proposals to seek Government help in basic transport and irrigation construction, the support of economic groups and co-ordinated investment for major projects were all approved at the meeting.
