The announcement stated: Recently, Typhoon Yagi (Typhoon No. 3) severely impacted our country, causing immense loss of life and damage to state and private property (total damage estimated at over 40,000 billion VND), affecting socio-economic development, and potentially reducing the national GDP growth rate in 2024 by approximately 0.15%. Once again, the spirit of solidarity, mutual support, compassion, and solidarity among the people and the military, the sense of brotherhood, and the fine traditions of our nation were clearly demonstrated.
In the context of needing to accelerate the implementation of tasks to achieve the goals set by the 13th National Party Congress, including the construction of 3,000km of expressways by 2025; which will serve as a driving force for growth in localities and the entire country, creating new development spaces (service areas, industrial zones, new urban areas, etc.), generating added value for land; reducing transportation costs to enhance the competitiveness of goods; facilitating travel for people and businesses; and moreover, in the current situation where the whole country is working together to overcome the consequences of storms and floods, we must prioritize growth, making the implementation of these projects even more urgent and important. Therefore, the task of promoting public investment, including investment in transportation infrastructure, requires the involvement of the entire political system. Party committees, government agencies, the Fatherland Front, and political and social organizations, according to their assigned functions, duties, and authority, should proactively fulfill their commitments, promises, and words.
To contribute to overcoming the consequences of storms and floods, to help disburse public investment capital, and to create momentum for socio-economic development, ministries, departments, localities, investors, consulting units, and construction contractors, according to their assigned functions and tasks, need to strive to implement projects with the spirit of fulfilling promises, ensuring results and concrete products, paying attention to quality, labor safety, and environmental hygiene; and upholding the spirit of "overcoming the sun and rain, not losing to storms and floods," adapting to nature and unusual weather.
The total number of projects under the Steering Committee's purview is 40 projects/92 component projects across three sectors: road, rail, and aviation; passing through the territories of 48 provinces and cities. To date, 2,021 km of expressways have been completed; approximately 1,700 km of expressways are under construction, and investment preparation is underway to soon begin construction on another 1,400 km of expressways. Thus, the target of completing 3,000 km by 2025 is feasible and achievable, but complacency is necessary, especially given the upcoming unpredictable and unfavorable weather conditions, including storms and other unusual changes.
Recent experience, especially in the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, the construction of the 500KV circuit 3 section from Quang Trach to Pho Noi, and the implementation of the North-South Expressway (Eastern section) in the 2017-2020 period, shows that although tasks and objectives may be difficult and sometimes seem impossible to achieve, with determination, effort, self-improvement, unity, and the mobilization of combined strength, they can be overcome and triumphed. It is necessary to leverage this experience to effectively implement emulation movements, especially the 500-day emulation campaign to complete 3,000 km of expressways.
Implementing the conclusions of the Steering Committee at the 13th session, to date, ministries, sectors and localities have completed 11 tasks on time as required, are actively implementing 28 tasks which are regular guidance and management work and 01 task which is not yet due. In particular, localities have done well in the tasks assigned by the Steering Committee in investment preparation work such as: (1) Ho Chi Minh City has coordinated with relevant provinces to report to the Prime Minister on the policy of preparing a pre-feasibility study report for the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 4 project; (2) Binh Duong Provincial People's Council has adjusted the investment policy for the Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh project; (3) Cao Bang province has coordinated with the Ministry of Planning and Investment to clarify the appraisal opinions on adjusting the investment policy for the Dong Dang - Tra Linh expressway project; (4) The provinces of Son La, Thai Binh, Lam Dong, and Binh Duong are preparing feasibility study reports for the Hoa Binh - Moc Chau expressway project, the Ninh Binh - Hai Phong section through Nam Dinh, Thai Binh, Tan Phu - Bao Loc, Bao Loc - Lien Khuong, and Ho Chi Minh City - Thu Dau Mot - Chon Thanh sections, closely following the set schedule; (5) Ninh Binh province has approved the Ninh Binh - Hai Phong project section through Ninh Binh. On behalf of the Steering Committee, the Prime Minister commends the decisive spirit and willingness to think and act of the Secretaries and Chairmen of the People's Committees of the above-mentioned provinces, for the goal of promoting the development of local and national transport infrastructure to strive to achieve the goals set by the 13th National Congress of the Party. On behalf of the Steering Committee, the Prime Minister commends and evaluates the Ministries and agencies that have performed well in the tasks assigned by the Steering Committee; At the same time, we commend the spirit of Dak Lak province for its proactive efforts in organizing and implementing the Khanh Hoa - Buon Ma Thuot expressway project (component project No. 3), ensuring its progress.
In addition, some localities need to learn from their experiences regarding the slow implementation of land clearance for key projects. Some localities, such as Tien Giang, Ben Tre, and Vinh Long, are slow in carrying out procedures for granting mining licenses, increasing capacity, and coordinating materials for projects in the South, failing to meet the deadlines set by the Prime Minister and affecting the construction progress of these projects.
The Prime Minister requested that ministries, sectors, and localities urgently implement key tasks to achieve the goals of the "500-day emulation campaign to complete 3,000 km of expressways" launched by the Prime Minister on August 18, 2024, in Dak Lak province. At the same time, it is necessary to build upon the lessons learned from the past period as follows:
Firstly, the lesson regarding leadership, management, direction, and command is that the mindset must be clear, the determination must be high, the effort must be great, the actions must be decisive, focused, and targeted; each task must be completed thoroughly; assignments must be clearly defined in terms of person, task, responsibility, time, product, and result; results must be measurable and quantifiable to facilitate inspection, supervision, and evaluation; and inspection and supervision must be strengthened.
Secondly, leveraging the strength of national unity, mobilizing resources from the entire society, and engaging the entire political system to identify key projects as a central task; Party committees at all levels must participate and provide leadership and guidance; government agencies at all levels must organize implementation; the Fatherland Front, political organizations, and mass mobilization committees, according to their functions and duties, must support and coordinate with investors, project management boards, and contractors, especially in land clearance work, with the spirit of "prompt support, widespread response, unity of purpose, and seamless coordination"; implementing the four on-site principles: on-site command, on-site forces, on-site equipment, and on-site logistics; main contractors should coordinate and collaborate with local subcontractors to leverage their understanding of the terrain and natural conditions of the area, thereby creating jobs and helping local businesses grow and thrive; in the future, they can continue to participate in the implementation of large, important national projects through these localities.
Thirdly, the project owner and construction units must make continuous efforts, be proactive and assertive, demonstrate the capabilities of the transportation sector, and ensure close and effective coordination among state-owned corporations, enterprises at both the central and local levels, state-owned and private enterprises, and main contractors to create favorable conditions and cooperate with local businesses and contractors as subcontractors to gradually grow stronger, with the spirit of "sharing, working together, enjoying together, winning together, developing together, and sharing joy, happiness, and pride."
Fourth, strengthen coordination and cooperation among forces, levels, and sectors; ensure close coordination between agencies and units to guarantee scientific and effective work; have a clear stance and avoid shirking responsibility.
Fifth, while working, we must simultaneously summarize and learn from experience; build and launch a vibrant patriotic emulation movement, arouse national pride, promptly encourage and reward, creating an atmosphere of enthusiastic work, all for the benefit of the nation and people; media and press agencies should strive to do a good job of propaganda, portraying good people and good deeds on the construction site and project, mobilizing the people, creating consensus and unity in implementing the Project. Promptly detect and handle acts of embezzlement and corruption.
