Tuyen Quang City recognized as grade II city

PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc attendes a ceremony to announce the decision on the recognition of Tuyen Quang City as a second-class city under Tuyen Quang Province

Addressing the event, the PM expressed his pleasure at Tuyen Quang City’s promotion to the grade II city under Tuyen Quang Province, a land of rich revolutionary traditions once known as the capital of the liberation zone and a resistance capital in the past.

He hailed urbanization as a crucial factor behind the success of the economic restructuring, productivity improvement and socio-economic development process of each region and the whole country.

This is also an important development orientation that was determined by the recent 13^th National Party Congress, the leader said.

Earlier on February 2, 2021, the PM signed a decision on recognizing Tuyen Quang City as the grade II city under Tuyen Quang Province.

After over 10 years of construction and development efforts since it became a third-class city, Tuyen Quang has exerted great efforts to achieve remarkable strides in various fields.

The city’s average economic growth rate reached 12.51% in the last three years, while its urban population stood at 232,230 as of late 2019.

The percentage of non-agricultural employment has now hit 80.04%; the rate of solid and semi-solid houses at 97.48%; the rate of lighted major streets at 96.2%; and especially 100% of daily-life solid waste has been treated./.
