The objective of planning for construction of the Southeastern Nghệ An Economic Zone conforms to the national development strategy, Việt Nam's sea development strategy and Nghệ An Province's development strategy.
The plan also aims to develop the economic zone into a dynamic and sustainable economic area and a tourism, service, urban, industrial, port and logistics centre.
It will also closely associate economic development with security, national defence, resilience and adaptation to climate change.
At the same time, it targets building the Southeastern Nghệ An Economic Zone into a motivated economic region of the north central coastal region and Nghệ An province; having synchronous and modern technical and social infrastructure systems; advanced and civilised architecture, urban areas with sustainable environment and efficient use of land. — VNS
