Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed the Mekong Delta’s Can Tho city to mobilize all possible resources to successfully implement its master plan for the 2021-2030 period and vision to 2050.

Addressing a conference on announcing the city’s master plan and investment promotions on December 10, Prime Minister Chinh said the biggest issue in implementing the plan is resources, including internal and external resources and resources from infrastructure development, from public-private partnerships (PPPs), from procedural reform, and from solidarity.

The government leader also asked Can Tho to promote innovation, science and technology, green and digital transformation, and the circular and knowledge economy, and accelerate the construction of transport infrastructure, connecting the region and the country.

He suggested that the city call for a variety of development resources, including State capital, private capital, and central, local, and loan capital.

The city should effectively implement specific policies, conduct research, and propose appropriate plans to create development resources.

The master plan aims to make Can Tho an ecological and modern city imbued with the identity of the Mekong Delta. It will belong to the group of well-developed cities in Asia, and will become a livable smart city in Vietnam and the center and growth pole of the Mekong Delta region.
