Vice Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee, Bui Xuan Cuong, has issued a document conveying the opinion of the Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee to relevant departments and units regarding the temporary suspension of the implementation of projects during the process of restructuring and organizing the political system's apparatus according to Conclusion No. 126-KL/TW and Conclusion No. 127-KL/TW of the Politburo and the Secretariat.

Accordingly, for new construction, repair, renovation, and upgrading projects of office buildings currently under construction, the Chairman of the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City has instructed relevant departments, agencies, the People's Committees of districts and communes, Thu Duc City, and project management boards under the People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City to continue construction, ensuring project progress and increasing the disbursement rate of the allocated public investment plan for 2025.

For new construction, repair, renovation, and upgrading projects of office buildings that are currently undergoing investment preparation procedures (investment policy, investment decision),... but have not yet commenced construction, the implementation of subsequent investment procedures will be temporarily suspended during the organizational restructuring process. After the organizational restructuring plan is finalized, the project investors will review the necessity of the investment, the new functional use of the building, and coordinate with the beneficiary unit to propose the optimal solution, ensuring efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and preventing waste.

The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee assigned the Department of Finance to take the lead and coordinate with relevant agencies and units to review, advise, and propose to the Ho Chi Minh City People's Committee the allocation of public investment plan for 2025 and the medium-term public investment plan for the period 2026-2030 for projects in accordance with regulations; ensuring efficiency and achieving the set disbursement targets.

The project owners are tasked with working with contractors to complete the necessary legal procedures for temporarily suspending the project, ensuring strict adherence to regulations and avoiding complaints or lawsuits.
