Regarding THACO's proposal to invest in metro line 2 (Ben Thanh - Tham Luong), the Chairman of the City People's Committee assigned the Department of Construction to preside over and coordinate with relevant departments and branches to work with investors to research and propose investment with the criteria of "modern technology, reasonable cost", ensuring compliance with legal regulations and the practical situation of the City.

Regarding the investment proposal for the Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem - Long Thanh railway line, the City People's Committee highly appreciated the proposals to synchronously connect urban railway lines from the City Center (Ben Thanh) to Thu Thiem Urban Area and extend to Long Thanh International Airport.

The integration of these routes into a unified route (Ben Thanh - Thu Thiem - Long Thanh) is suitable in terms of technology and urban space development orientation, contributing to promoting investment efficiency, increasing connectivity and serving the socio -economic development of the eastern area of the City.

Currently, the City People's Committee has submitted a report to the Ministry of Construction proposing that the Prime Minister assign the City People's Committee as the competent authority to invest in the Project. On that basis, the investor is requested to proactively research and propose related contents for the City to synthesize and report to the competent authority for consideration.

Regarding THACO's proposal to research and invest in completing all remaining technical infrastructure, traffic, and landscape items in Thu Thiem New Urban Area such as: central square, riverside park, and ecological forest area.

The City People's Committee requests investors to clearly identify that these are new investment projects and will not continue to follow previous legal procedures.

Regarding investment forms, the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee recommends that investors focus on researching and clarifying appropriate investment forms such as BT, BOT, BTL... and commit to ensuring financial capacity and the ability to arrange capital sources in accordance with current legal regulations.
