<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">During the session, AVSE Global proposed a distinctive development path for Da Nang, one that integrates city planning with key projects and national programs. Their urban spatial model features a core zone for services, finance, and high-tech; a new urban belt; and a green connection zone linking the city with the neighboring provinces.</p>
<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">AVSE Global noted that Da Nang has considerable advantages to become a top economic, financial, and technology hub in the region.

<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">The city proposed multiple areas for collaboration with AVSE Global, including strategic consultation for establishing the Vietnam International Financial Center in Da Nang (VIFC-DN), developing a digital asset management framework, linking global experts and businesses, and co-hosting events like the R&D Forum and Hack4Growth to promote Da Nang’s potential on the international stage.</p>
<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">Chairman Pham Duc An reaffirmed the central government’s directive for Da Nang to become the innovation center of Central Vietnam and the nation. The city is focused on developing finance, high-tech, logistics, seaports, ecological tourism, and medicinal materials, while also investing in its airport, urban railway, and a modern logistics center, all geared toward green, sustainable growth.</p>

<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">Ms. Nguyen Thi Anh Thi, Vice Chairwoman of the City People's Committee, confirmed that after nearly 13 years, the Master Plan has fundamentally transformed how the Ancient Town is conserved and promoted.

<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">With 2025 marking the end of the Plan's duration, it is a crucial time to evaluate achievements, extract lessons learned, and define a new vision that aligns with current development needs.</p>
<p style="margin-top:17px;line-height:30px">Mr. Hoang Dao Cuong, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports, and Tourism, highlighted that the Master Plan provided a vital legal foundation, helping to balance heritage preservation with tourism, expand the conservation area, and boost community involvement. He stressed the need to hold fast to the principle of keeping cultural heritage as the core focus and never sacrificing it for economic gain. He also recommended that Da Nang formulate a new Master Plan centered on "ecology – culture – tourism," consistent with sustainable development trends and UNESCO's recommendations.</p>
