Large-scale, key investment projects play a crucial role as a driving force for socio -economic growth. Therefore, focusing on the effective and high-quality implementation of these projects, and ensuring their timely completion, is primarily the responsibility of Party committees and governments at all levels, and the responsibility of relevant units and businesses.

Close supervision and monitoring
Present at the construction site of Sub-project 1 - the bridge over the Ma River (Xuan Quang Bridge, Thieu Quang Commune, Thieu Hoa District), in the early days of the Year of the Dragon, Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee Do Minh Tuan emphasized: The road connecting National Highway 1 with National Highway 45 (the section from Hoang Xuan Commune, Hoang Hoa District to Thieu Long Commune, Thieu Hoa District), with a total length of 14.6km and 3 sub-projects, is identified as a key project, playing a very important role in the socio-economic development of Thanh Hoa province. Therefore, along with monitoring the situation and encouraging the spirit of the contractors and workers on the construction site, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee also assigned the investor and contractors to urgently deploy construction teams, ensuring the progress, safety, quality and aesthetics of the project. At the same time, Thieu Hoa and Hoang Hoa districts need to be more determined and responsible, striving to complete the two sub-projects before April 30, 2024.
It can be said that the determination and decisive leadership of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee in effectively implementing innovative and breakthrough tasks and solutions are among the prerequisites for accelerating the progress of key projects and works. Therefore, from the beginning of 2024 to the present, the Provincial People's Committee has established 5 working groups to direct and promote the disbursement of public investment capital and implement 3 national target programs and the socio-economic recovery and development program. The close monitoring and timely resolution of difficulties and obstacles for large projects and key works by the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee have yielded many positive results.
Currently, 71 major and key investment projects are being implemented in the province. Specifically: For the 13 projects (for which investment approval decisions, investment registration certificates, and memoranda of understanding were signed at the Thanh Hoa Province Investment Promotion Conference in 2020), 9 projects received investment approval decisions and investment registration certificates (of which, the Sam Son City Beach Square and Festival Landscape Axis project is basically completed; 4 projects are underway; and 4 projects are in the process of completing investment preparation documents). Four projects signed memoranda of understanding (1 project is underway; 3 projects are in the process of completing investment preparation documents). In addition, for the 12 projects in the Nghi Son Economic Zone and industrial parks, 6 projects are currently underway; and 6 projects are in the process of completing investment preparation documents. Of the remaining 46 projects, one has been essentially completed (Thanh Hoa Industrial College); 22 projects are underway; and 23 projects are in the process of finalizing their investment preparation documents and procedures.
To achieve these results, along with the leadership, guidance, and close supervision of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and the Provincial People's Committee, Thanh Hoa province organized conferences to hear reports on the implementation of land clearance; resolving the shortage of construction materials in the province, especially for large, key investment projects in the transportation sector... At the same time, it worked directly with investors or assigned relevant provincial departments and agencies to resolve difficulties and obstacles for projects according to regulations for many important projects (such as the Ben En high-end ecological resort complex with entertainment services and the Xuan Lai high-end resort urban area project; Nghi Son LNG power plant; Duc Giang - Nghi Son chemical production complex...).
In particular, the Provincial People's Committee has directed relevant units to review, advise, and propose to competent authorities amendments and additions to legal regulations related to investment projects that are not in line with the actual situation and affect the project's implementation progress. At the same time, it has assigned targets and required district-level People's Committees to organize the signing of commitments on land clearance progress with the investors of each project; and to shorten the processing time for investment and construction project documents and procedures...
Remove difficulties to speed up progress
Despite achieving some positive results, the implementation of major, key projects is still revealing a number of difficulties and obstacles. Specifically, 34 out of 71 projects are facing difficulties due to the slow pace of preparing, approving, and adjusting urban master plans and functional zoning plans in localities, affecting the progress of completing project investment documents and procedures. Projects in the cultural sector fall under the purview of numerous legal documents related to investment, construction, bidding, and cultural heritage, leading to prolonged investment preparation procedures. The investment preparation process for some projects has not received adequate attention from investors, lacking proactiveness and flexibility in implementation.
Furthermore, many ongoing projects are facing land acquisition issues (24 out of 34 projects). Projects using foreign capital (ODA) have multi-step implementation processes, taking a long time and depending on foreign donors; some projects require adjustments to investment policies and investment projects due to increased land acquisition costs, thus affecting implementation progress. In addition, some project owners/investors lack responsibility and decisiveness in urging and directing progress; their financial capacity is limited. Monitoring, urging, coordinating, supervising, and inspecting the management and use of land and investment projects by relevant units, although carried out, is not frequent or continuous...
To overcome the difficulties and obstacles mentioned above and accelerate the implementation of major, key projects in the province, the first priority is to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of state management over investment projects, especially direct investment projects by enterprises. The timely, efficient, and quality implementation of projects depends heavily on the role and responsibility of investors, units, contractors, and enterprises. Therefore, in addition to monitoring, urging, and effectively supporting investors, it is also necessary to resolutely propose to the competent authorities the revocation of projects with prolonged delays, allocating land to investors with the actual capacity to implement the projects.
Furthermore, focus on effectively implementing the land clearance plan for land-use projects in the province in 2024. Local authorities, especially the heads of Party committees and governments, need to recognize this as a crucial task and provide decisive leadership; at the same time, strictly adhere to the signed commitments regarding land handover schedules with investors. In particular, it is necessary to clarify the causes of delays in each stage, each task, and each phase of project implementation, especially for public investment projects, in order to find solutions to overcome them.
Furthermore, heads of Party committees, government agencies, and units at all levels need to strengthen on-site inspections and supervision, urge contractors to concentrate manpower, materials, and equipment, and add more construction teams to carry out the task. At the same time, they should review any shortcomings in the legal regulations on investment and construction, and promptly propose amendments and additions to competent authorities to remove bottlenecks in the disbursement of public investment capital, creating a basis for accelerating the implementation of large-scale, key projects in the province.
