Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh highlighted the investment potential of the central province of Thanh Hoa while addressing the province’s investment promotion conference held on March 29.
The event was attended by leaders of ministries and central agencies, officials from Thanh Hoa and other localities, as well as representatives of foreign diplomatic missions, investment promotion agencies, investors, businesses and banks from both domestic and international markets.
Covering more than 11,100 sq.km and home to over 4.3 million people, Thanh Hoa is among Vietnam’s largest localities and holds a strategic position in socio-economic development and national defence. Often described as a “mini Vietnam”, the province boasts diverse resources and strong growth potential, supported by increasingly well-developed infrastructure across road, rail, sea and air transport.
The province also has notable strengths in agriculture and tourism, with terrain ranging from mountainous areas to a long coastline. Its workforce of around 2.1 million people, accounting for 56% of the population, provides a solid foundation for sustained growth.
Prime Minister Chinh called on businesses to work closely with provincial authorities to fully tap Thanh Hoa’s advantages and contribute to its development.
At the conference, the province also unveiled a list of 173 priority projects for the 2026–2030 period across six key sectors, with total expected investment exceeding VND570 trillion (approximately $22 billion).
