The project should strive for a long-term sustainable operation by focusing on protecting the environment rather than exploiting it for a short time, the PM noted.
The Cabinet leader also asked Binh Phuoc province to create favourable conditions for the investors during construction and to ensure the safe relocation of local residents for the project’s land clearance.
The Government leader also urged investors to use local land and water resources in the most effective and safe way in order to protect the natural environment of the region.
During his visit to Binh Phuoc province, the PM also visited a high-tech agriculture centre which covers 50 hectares in Dong Xoai town and was invested with VND100 billion (US$4.4 million).
According to provincial authorities, the centre's building is the foundation to develop farming areas where advanced technology will be applied to increase the economic value of agricultural products.
