Chairman of the People's Committee of the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho, Mr. Truong Canh Tuyen, has urged local departments and agencies to thoroughly reassess their strategies to strive for an annual growth rate of 8.5%.

The export value of goods and foreign currency revenue reached $4.56 billion, up 11.4% year-on-year.
