In his opening speech, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated that, to date, the list of projects monitored by the Steering Committee includes 40 major projects/92 component projects in 3 areas: Road, railway and aviation, passing through 48 provinces and centrally-run cities.

The Prime Minister emphasized that from now until the end of 2025, there are only about 15 months left, the workload is very large. Therefore, the Prime Minister suggested discussing solutions to speed up progress, ensure the quality of projects; apply valuable experiences from the 500kV power line project, circuit 3.

Accordingly, it is necessary to create a vibrant emulation movement, mobilize forces, and create a combined strength with the entire political system participating under the leadership and direction of the Party Committee, government, and the active participation of the Fatherland Front and socio-political organizations.

Main contractors mobilize more subcontractors to create jobs and livelihoods for people and businesses and improve the capacity of local contractors, with the spirit of "working together, winning together, enjoying together, and developing together".

The Prime Minister also took time to analyze the importance of strategic transport infrastructure.

"In particular, preliminary statistics show that super typhoon No. 3 caused about 40 trillion VND in damage. We must have solutions to compensate for this damage, including the task of promoting public investment disbursement and promoting 3 strategic breakthroughs, including a strategic breakthrough in transport infrastructure," said the Prime Minister.

Therefore, the implementation of key national transport infrastructure projects is an important political task, also demonstrating "national love and compatriotism". Ministries, branches, localities and enterprises must focus on doing it with the spirit and responsibility for the people and the country. What they say is what they do, what they commit to, they must do.

Many important tasks have been completed.

At the 13th meeting on August 8, the Prime Minister assigned 42 tasks to ministries, branches and localities, focusing on removing difficulties and obstacles, speeding up the progress of site clearance and providing construction materials, especially for key transport projects in the Southern region.

According to the report of the Ministry of Transport, up to now, the units have completed 11 tasks on time, are actively implementing 28 tasks of regular direction and management, one task has not yet been due, and two tasks have not been completed on time, of which a number of important tasks have been completed.

Regarding the implementation of construction and the movement "500 days and nights competing to complete 3,000 km of expressway", the Ministry of Transport has coordinated with the localities assigned as the managing agencies to review the implementation plan, build detailed progress, especially the work of a "critical" nature to urge the units.

Most projects have sufficient material sources and favorable site clearance conditions, and construction progress meets requirements.

Some projects with great implementation value such as the North-South Expressway in the East phase 2021-2025, construction has reached 52%, Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang section through An Giang has reached 26%, Hanoi Ring Road 4 section through Hanoi has reached 33%, Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang project section through Ha Giang has reached 35%...

Some component projects are striving to be completed 3 to 6 months early.

However, the implementation of projects in some localities is still slow, such as Can Tho, Soc Trang at the Chau Doc - Can Tho - Soc Trang project, Bac Ninh at the Hanoi Ring Road 4 project, Cao Bang at the Dong Dang - Tra Linh project, Lang Son has just started construction of the Huu Nghi - Chi Lang project, especially at projects scheduled to be completed in 2025, including: Dong Nai at the Bien Hoa - Vung Tau component project 1 and the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 component project 3; Binh Duong at the Ho Chi Minh City Ring Road 3 project; Tuyen Quang at the Tuyen Quang - Ha Giang project.
