The Chairman of the city People’s Committee noted that the special zone should identify feasible and specific goals and indicators with priorities and clear timelines to ensure effective implementation. He urged active coordination with relevant departments, sectors and units to research and effectively implement three development pillars under the guidance of Party General Secretary To Lam.
