In addition, the Party and State's policies on investment, science and technology, education, etc. for Nam Dinh are important factors promoting the province's economic restructuring process.

The general policies of the Party and State are an important basis for the Party Committee and people of Nam Dinh to determine goals, directions, influencing factors and build solutions for the economic restructuring process of the province.

2.1.1.2. Economic globalization trend

Economic globalization is the result of the development of the world's productive forces, one of the driving forces of this process is technological change. The unprecedented development of the modern scientific and technological revolution has promoted the trend of economic globalization, while at the same time causing the economic structure of the world and each country to change rapidly.

Globalization is reflected in the increasingly close connection between economies, the scientific and technological revolution affecting all countries, the trend of liberalizing trade, investment, and coordination in production between countries...

The modern scientific and technological revolution affects the process of economic restructuring in Nam Dinh through its impacts on the production process, changing the organization and role of production factors, the structure of goods and services, and creating many new industries in the province.

Trade liberalization creates conditions for the province's economic structure to shift towards modernization. Trade liberalization causes the scale and speed of international trade to change rapidly, strongly affecting the export structure.

The import-export structure in turn affects the shift in the structure of goods and services, the structure of economic sectors of a country and of provinces. Trade liberalization affects the shift in the economic structure of a country as follows: First, trade in services increases faster than trade in goods. Second, the structure of export goods increases rapidly in refined goods with high scientific and technological content, and reduces primary goods. Third, develop modern economic sectors based on comparative advantages to produce export goods. Fourth, develop e-commerce.

Investment liberalization also greatly affects the process of economic restructuring of the province. Investment liberalization helps attract investment capital from other sectors of the economy and from countries around the world to serve the process of economic development and economic restructuring of the province, including direct and indirect investment capital. In the condition of an agricultural province, economic difficulties in economic restructuring require a huge amount of capital to develop infrastructure and build modern economic sectors. Indirect investment capital sources, especially ODA non-refundable aid, often focus on infrastructure development - the first conditions for the development of industry, services and agricultural modernization of an agricultural province. Direct investment capital sources often focus on modern economic sectors, high technology... helping to increase the proportion of industry in the province. Investment liberalization will impact the economic structure to shift in the following direction: Electronics, engineering, computer manufacturing, plastics, chemicals, machine manufacturing, etc. will increase rapidly. Processing industry will have conditions to develop to support the development of agriculture. Service industries will develop. The proportion of agriculture will decrease rapidly, agriculture will be modernized, and strongly oriented towards export.

Globalization of production activities also has a significant impact on the economic restructuring of an agricultural province like Nam Dinh. The division of labor

International labor is increasingly deep and widespread globally, making the process of creating a complete product divided into countless stages, carried out by hundreds of completely independent enterprises located in countries around the world. Based on this reality, Nam Dinh can rely on the province's comparative advantages, proactively establishing cooperative relationships with partners inside and outside the province to develop industry.

2.1.2. Specific factors of Nam Dinh province

2.1.2.1. Natural conditions

Nam Dinh is a delta province, located in the south of the Red River Delta, re-established in 1997, after two separations with Ninh Binh and Ha Nam provinces.

As a province in the Red River Delta, the land is flat and fertile. Moreover, Nam Dinh has a tropical climate, with an average temperature of about 24 - 25 0 C, with rainfall ranging from about 1100 - 1450 mm/year [4, p.9]. The climate is divided into four relatively distinct seasons, which is an extremely favorable condition for the development of a diverse agricultural commodity, with crops of high economic value, which is one of the rice granaries of the North. This is also the basis for the development of the agricultural processing industry, providing high quality agricultural products for the domestic and international markets.

Nam Dinh borders Ha Nam province to the north, Thai Binh province to the east, Ninh Binh province to the west and southwest, and the East Sea to the southeast and south. The area of the province is 1649.86 km 2 , with 72 km of coastline.

In the unused land area, most of the land is flat, which is the potential to continue developing agriculture and creating a foundation for the development of other economic sectors.

2.1.2.3. Leadership and management of the Provincial Party Committee and local government

In the process of economic restructuring of a province, the Provincial Party Committee has the role of grasping the Party and State's policies on economic restructuring, assessing the practical conditions of the locality to build its own viewpoints, goals, directions and solutions for the long-term economic restructuring process and in each specific stage. Each province has its own specific conditions, the wise leadership of the Party, the management of the provincial government apparatus dares to think, dares to do, and offers breakthrough solutions for the economic restructuring process. The issue of building a contingent of cadres and Party members is always considered by Nam Dinh as a decisive issue for all victories of the province on all fronts.

For many years, Nam Dinh Party Committee has been recognized as a clean and strong Party Committee. During the renovation period, Nam Dinh considers Party building a key task. Promote the tradition of solidarity and unity within the Party and government at all levels. Resolutely fight against degeneration in a part of Party members. At the same time, pay attention to building a team of key cadres at all levels and sectors, initially rejuvenating the team of cadres and Party members.
