On March 20, Vinh Long People’s Committee held a conference to announce adjustments to the province’s master plan for the rest of this decade and beyond, which charts a path towards a new phase of high expectations and strategic breakthroughs.

At the conference, Tran Tri Quang, Chairman of Vinh Long People’s Committee, said the adjustment is not just a document to complete an administrative procedure. “It is time for us to redefine our development path, making it faster yet more sustainable. Economic growth should not come at the expense of the environment. Amidst increasingly deep integration, Vinh Long must preserve its identity. On top of that, all policies should serve individuals and businesses,” Quang said.

The adjustments to the master plan reflect a new development mindset with a comprehensive, long-term, and scientific approach. It outlines Vinh Long’s post-merger potential and advantages, aligned with key national policies and the province’s practical development needs in the new phase.
