Vo Trong Hai will succeed Le Hong Vinh, who was elected chairman of Quang Tri Provincial People's Committee yesterday.
In his acceptance speech, Vo Trong Hai stated that as 2025 concludes, it marks the final phase of the 2021-2026 term, a pivotal period demanding determination, innovation, and decisive action to achieve targets and lay the groundwork for the province's next phase of development.
He emphasized that the biggest current distinctions lie in operating a two-tier government model, implementing comprehensive digital transformation, and shifting from a management mindset to one of governance, service, and fostering growth and development.
"In this context, I recognize that the provincial chairman is not merely an administrator but also an innovator, a leader, and an inspirer who creates momentum for rapid, sustainable development," Hai stated.

For the 2025-2030 period, the province aims to become a moderately developed locality nationwide and a key center in the North Central region for industry, education-training, healthcare, and science-technology. Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) growth is projected to reach 9-10% annually, with per capita income exceeding 160 million dong and an urbanization rate of 45%.
