The Prime Minister requested to completely resolve the backlog of projects and prevent loss and waste.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed Official Dispatch No. 112/CD-TTg dated November 6, 2024 requesting ministries, branches and localities to focus on resolving backlog projects, stopping construction, urgently implementing, completing and putting them into use to prevent waste and loss.

According to the Official Dispatch, recently, the Government and the Prime Minister have directed many ministries, agencies and localities to resolutely implement solutions to completely handle backlog projects and stop construction.

Therefore, many works and projects have been promptly resolved, revived and put into good operation such as: Cat Linh Ha Dong railway project, Thai Binh 2 Thermal Power Plant project, Ha Bac Fertilizer Plant renovation and expansion project, Song Hau 1 Thermal Power Plant, Lot B Gas Field exploitation project and O Mon Thermal Power Center, removing some obstacles of Nghi Son Oil Refinery, Long Thanh International Airport, ... many works have been deployed at lightning speed, shortening construction time such as the 500 kV line 3 circuit from Quang Trach (Quang Binh) to Pho Noi (Hung Yen). Thereby, it has improved the efficiency of use, not wasting state and social resources, contributing to promoting socio-economic development, creating trust for the people.

Bach Mai Hospital's second facility project

However, many construction projects and initiatives still face obstacles that have not been promptly addressed by relevant authorities and agencies, resulting in prolonged delays and construction stoppages. Examples include the second phase of Bach Mai Hospital and Viet Duc Hospital, the flood control project in Ho Chi Minh City, and the Vicem Operations and Trading Center, leading to wasted resources and public dissatisfaction.

To focus on thoroughly resolving existing problems, promptly completing and putting into use backlogged projects, works with prolonged construction suspension, headquarters, offices, etc., the Prime Minister requests:

Ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, and chairpersons of People's Committees of provinces and centrally-administered cities shall organize the thorough and effective implementation of General Secretary To Lam's directives on combating waste; effectively implement Government resolutions and Prime Minister's directives on the efficient use of resources, expediting the implementation of projects, and preventing losses and waste, especially in stalled or suspended projects, headquarters of ministries and agencies, state-owned commercial banks, production and business investment projects at state-owned corporations and enterprises, hospitals, student dormitories, etc.

Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, Government agencies, Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities direct the immediate implementation of:
