At the conference, delegates discussed and pointed out several shortcomings and limitations, such as low growth in the industrial, construction, trade, and service sectors, and low industrial production index compared to the same period last year. Public investment disbursement was low; land clearance work still faced many obstacles and difficulties, leading to delays in project progress, especially the land clearance for the Van Ninh - Cam Lo section of the expressway and some other important projects.
