Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has asked authorities of southern Ba Ria-Vung Tau province to develop its Con Dao island district into a world-class tourist destination.

At a working session with the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee on May 3, PM Chinh instructed local authorities to finalize and implement a scheme for applying special mechanisms for Con Dao's development.

PM Chinh instructed the province to promote investment mobilization for Con Dao’s international airport via public-private partnerships.

He suggested that the province ensure integrated planning of healthcare, education, culture and social infrastructure, while increasing investment in power, clean water, waste treatment and 5G coverage and greening Con Dao’s cemeteries.
