The resolution sets the target for Khanh Hoa province to become a city directly under the Central Government by 2030 on the basis of upholding potentials and advantages of the sea, and being a smart, sustainable city with international connectivity. At the same time, Khanh Hoa will become a central growth pole of the South Central Coast - Central Highlands and the whole country in marine economy, high-tech industry, science and technology...
