Delegates speaking at the meeting

Based on the actual situation, the People's Committee of Binh Phuoc province has made recommendations to the central ministries and branches. Notably, it is recommended not to conduct ore mining in the overlapping area between the project and the planning areas for exploration, exploitation and bauxite reserves in the area, because ore mining in these areas is not feasible due to small volume, high cost and affecting the progress and efficiency of the expressway project...
