He pointed out that the region, comprising five provinces of Kon Tum, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Dak Nong and Lam Dong, has yet to fully tapped its potential, opportunities and competitive edge.

PM Chinh said: “It is necessary to promote the development of the Central Highlands following the general development strategy of the whole country.”

He said the development of the Central Highlands must be self-reliant, using internal and external resources.

Chinh told the conference that the region should put people and businesses at the centre of development. The development must be inclusive, comprehensive and sustainable, narrowing the gap between rich and poor, ensuring social security, and leaving no one behind.

In production and business, it is necessary to innovate technology, diversify products, and diversify markets and supply chains.
