At the meeting, Deputy Minister of Planning and Investment Tran Quoc Phuong said that in August 2023, the Prime Minister assigned the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to be the focal agency to synthesize the implementation of the construction of Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4. This is a very large-scale project, implemented under the public-private partnership (PPP) method. The Ministry of Planning and Investment has worked with localities where Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 passes through, and proposed to combine component projects through 5 localities into 1 overall project. The Prime Minister will assign an agency to study the overall pre-feasibility report and submit it to the National Assembly for approval of the project investment policy. At the same time, the agencies will propose specific policies to be included in the National Assembly's resolution approving the investment policy, such as: Using this local budget to support another locality, or implementing expenditure tasks from the central budget; the proportion of State capital participating in the project; local planning adjustments; appointing contractors for a number of packages on technical consultancy, technical infrastructure relocation, compensation, resettlement;... Deputy Minister of Transport Le Anh Tuan said that the Ministry has agreed with localities on scale, investment phases, technical standards and related items.
