The meeting was connected online from the Government headquarters to 26 provinces and cities with important national projects and key works in the transport sector.
Attending the meeting were Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha, Deputy Head of the Steering Committee; members of the Steering Committee, leaders of ministries, ministerial-level agencies, government agencies, provinces and cities; representatives of project management boards, state-owned economic groups, investors, consulting units, and construction contractors.
In his opening speech, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that infrastructure development is one of the three strategic breakthroughs identified since the 11th Party Congress; experience from many countries around the world shows that if you want to develop quickly, you must invest in strategic infrastructure.
The development of strategic infrastructure contributes to promoting public investment disbursement, economic growth, rapid and sustainable development of the country. Practices in recent months have shown that provinces and cities with good disbursement have good economic growth. In recent years, provinces and cities with double-digit growth rates are also places with good infrastructure.

The Prime Minister said that there are currently 120 projects and component projects under the direction of the Steering Committee, in 30 provinces and cities, in the three fields of roads, aviation and seaports.
To date, the Steering Committee has held 20 meetings, with 19 projects, road component projects and one airport project under the Steering Committee completed and put into operation. Thereby, the whole country now has 2,476 km of expressways.

The Ministry of Construction and localities are making efforts to implement the construction of 733 km of highways with 22 projects and component projects. Of these, 16 component projects with a total length of 575 km are on track to be completed in 2025. Particularly, 6 projects with a length of 158 km are still behind schedule, while the volume of the Long Thanh International Airport project is still very large.
From now until December 19 (the date of groundbreaking and inauguration ceremonies for major projects), there are only nearly 2 months left. The Prime Minister stated that this is an extremely important period to accelerate and make a breakthrough in implementing key projects and works.
The Prime Minister asked delegates to focus on reporting and discussing with the spirit of "6 clear": clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear authority, and clear products.
The Ministry of Construction, the standing agency of the Steering Committee, reported specifically on the results of implementing assigned tasks at the 20th meeting of the Steering Committee, clearly pointing out existing problems and difficulties, and clearly proposing implementation measures for the coming time, especially projects that must be completed in 2025.
