On the morning of March 5, the State Steering Committee for national key transport projects held the 24th online meeting with 24 provinces and cities.

In his concluding remarks at the meeting, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh urged ministries, sectors, localities, project management boards, investors and contractors to demonstrate the highest sense of responsibility in implementing infrastructure projects.

He emphasized that project execution must be carried out swiftly while strictly complying with legal procedures and regulations, and underlined the need to prevent violations, corruption, losses and wastefulness of public assets. At the same time, agencies were instructed to promptly remove institutional bottlenecks and cut unnecessary administrative procedures.

The Government leader also requested a review and adjustment of development plans to align with the Resolution of the 14th National Party Congress, ensuring a long-term strategic vision. Localities were urged to add interchanges and connection points linking with newly built expressways to maximise project efficiency, and adapt provincial master plans to new development spaces along these routes.

The Prime Minister further suggested engaging forces such as the military, police, youth and women’s organizations in suitable tasks to help accelerate project progress. Contractors, consultants and construction workers were urged to maintain the highest working spirit on construction sites.

Regarding projects in the preparation stage, Hanoi and Bac Ninh were asked to speed up approval of the feasibility study for the road linking with Gia Binh Airport in Bac Ninh, enabling construction to begin soon and the route to be completed on time to serve APEC events.

On site clearance, the Prime Minister instructed Phu Tho, Son La, Thai Nguyen, Hung Yen, Ninh Binh, and Dong Nai provinces to focus on implementing and completing site clearance for the remaining sections of the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau, Ninh Binh - Hai Phong, Cho Moi - Bac Kan projects, and the Dau Giay - Tan Phu and Ho Chi Minh City - Long Thanh projects to meet construction timelines.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh asked ministries, sectors and local authorities to review cost norms, investment levels, and bidding and contractor selection processes to ensure compliance with regulations and minimize risks of wrongdoings. He also highlighted the need to mobilise the entire political system to support transport infrastructure projects, particularly in site clearance and resettlement efforts, ensuring that relocated residents have better living conditions than before.
