The formalisation of the city has boosted the economy of Quang Ninh’s northeastern region, helped balance development among regions in the province, accelerated the pace of urbanisation and promote its role as an important hub for transport, national defence and security in Vietnam’s Northeast region, he said.

In order to reach further targets, he urged the city to focus on boosting its economic structures to turn the city into a modern, industrial centre, ensuring social security and equality, improving living standards, as well as promoting and developing the region’s unique tourism activities.
