To ensure the project's progress, Mr. Le Tien Chau, Secretary of the Hai Phong City Party Committee and Head of the Steering Committee, suggested that the City People's Committee soon organize a dialogue conference with businesses in the Dinh Vu area to create consensus and unity in project implementation; and direct the Hai Phong Traffic and Agricultural Project Management Board to soon start construction of the resettlement area to serve the site clearance work.

Resettlement areas need to be built in convenient locations, with complete infrastructure, ensuring convenience in people's lives. The City Police and the City Military Command should strengthen their grasp of the local situation, proactively develop plans to ensure security, order, and social safety during the project implementation process; the Department of Agriculture and Environment should urgently unify and complete the project's cadastral map; the Department of Finance should calculate and allocate sufficient funds to serve the site clearance work.

In localities where the project passes, promote propaganda and mobilization work so that people clearly understand the meaning and importance of the project, create high consensus, strictly comply with regulations, and prevent illegal construction and exploitation of policies related to compensation and support for site clearance.
