He asked Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu to mobilize all resources for synchronous infrastructure construction in all fields and to attach importance to training human resources, especially those with high qualifications. 

Bà Rịa-Vũng Tàu, as he said, should coordinate with relevant ministries and agencies to speed up construction progress of the Thị Vải-Cái Mép deepwater seaport. 

Mr. Dũng also stressed the need to combine economic development with social welfares, poverty reduction and environmental protection, health and education, and ensure sea and island security and defense.
