Breakthrough investment projects and targeted programs

Regarding strategic infrastructure projects, the National Assembly has passed resolutions on the investment policy for the Gia Binh International Airport construction project and the Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway project.

Deputy Prime Minister Le Thanh Long participated in answering questions from National Assembly deputies.

After planning, Gia Binh International Airport will be able to handle new generation wide-body, long-range aircraft. By 2030, the airport will have a capacity of approximately 30 million passengers per year and 1.6 million tons of cargo per year; by 2050, it will expand to a capacity of 50 million passengers per year and 2.5 million tons of cargo per year. The project is funded by domestic investors, without using state budget funds, with a total investment of approximately VND 196,378 billion.

The Vinh - Thanh Thuy expressway, upon completion, will shorten the distance for transporting goods and passengers from the North Central Economic Zone to Central Laos and Northeast Thailand, while also directly connecting to the eastern North-South expressway, creating a strong impetus for the development of Nghe An province and other provinces in the North Central Economic Zone. The project has a total investment of approximately VND 23,950 billion, is expected to be implemented in the 2025-2030 period, with a scale of 4 lanes in phase 1, and will be completed with 6 lanes according to the plan, using public investment capital.

These mechanisms contribute to providing Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang with a flexible institutional space, increasing autonomy, maximizing the mobilization of social resources, and accelerating the progress of key projects.

The resolution approving the investment policy for the National Target Program on Health Care, Population and Development for the period 2026-2035 was issued to improve the quality of healthcare for the people, aiming to build a healthy Vietnam where all citizens receive healthcare, live long, healthy lives, improve physical fitness, raise awareness of health protection, and proactively prevent diseases throughout society...
