First, they must adopt and implement programs and action plans to realise Resolution 23, accelerate regional economic growth rates, consider agricultural and forestry development as the focus, the manufacturing industry as a driving force, and tourism development as a breakthrough.
Second, the region will develop important transport infrastructures and unique tourism.
Third, transport infrastructure will be developed to connect the region with seaports, domestic and international airports.
By 2030, important roads will be put into use namely Quy Nhon-Pleiku highway, Khanh Hoa-Buon Ma Thuot highway, Gia Nghia-Chon Thanh highway, Tan Phu-Bao Loc highway and Bao Loc-Lien Khuong highway.
