He emphasized that the establishment of Dung Quất Industrial Zone three decades ago was a strategic breakthrough, helping transform Dung Quất into a major coastal economic zone and an important growth driver of Quảng Ngãi.
Dung Quất Economic Zone has attracted more than 440 investment projects with total registered capital of nearly US$20 billion, including 63 FDI projects worth more than US$2.5 billion. Around 350 projects are currently operating, creating jobs for more than 81,000 workers.
The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister called on Quảng Ngãi to develop Dung Quất into a green, smart and modern economic zone, with three key pillars: a national-scale oil refining and energy center, a heavy industry and new materials center, and a logistics center.
He identified five key priorities: promoting the green and circular economy; accelerating science, technology, innovation and digital transformation; developing Dung Quất into a regional logistics hub; creating a modern and investor-friendly business environment; and ensuring harmonious development with people at the center.
Permanent Deputy PM Phạm Gia Túc also asked Quảng Ngãi to optimize high-speed regional transport connections, particularly with Chu Lai International Airport, and soon finalize special mechanisms and policies for developing the National Oil Refining and Energy Center in Dung Quất.
