Working with the provincial Party Committee on Saturday, PM Hung said that despite its considerable potential and development opportunities, Dien Bien has yet to achieve a breakthrough due to a number of unresolved bottlenecks.
“As services account for the largest share of its economy, Dien Bien should focus on developing a modern border-gate economy, positioning itself as a hub for trade, cross-border commerce, and logistics in the Northwest region, as well as a gateway for economic exchanges with neighboring countries and the wider region,” he said.
The advantages offered by Dien Bien Airport, the Dien Bien Phu Special National Historical Site, its rich historical legacy, and distinctive natural and cultural assets such as the Muong Thanh Valley and the Ban Flower Festival should be transformed into powerful drivers of tourism development, the PM suggested.
He called on Dien Bien to maintain its position as a leading locality in public investment disbursement, with the goal of achieving full disbursement of the 2026 plan. He also stressed the need to prioritize resources for key projects and reallocate capital from slow-moving projects to those with stronger implementation and disbursement performance.
The same day, PM Hung offered incense in honor of fallen soldiers on the occasion of the 79th anniversary of War Invalids and Martyrs Day, July 27.
