This route connects the Central Coastal region (Phu Yen) with the Central Highlands (Dak Lak), linking the Cambodia-Laos-Vietnam development triangle. Currently, this national highway has many narrow sections, has been invested in a long time ago and has deteriorated, while the volume of traffic on the route is increasing. At the meeting, the two provinces agreed to cooperate in proposing investment to upgrade and expand this national highway, with a total length of approximately 147km, to a Class III road scale, 4 lanes, and a roadbed width of about 20.5m.
Comrade Ta Anh Tuan – Chairman of the People's Committee of Phu Yen province – participated in the discussion at the conference.
During the meeting, Phu Yen Provincial Party Secretary Cao Thi Hoa An raised the issue of naming the newly merged agencies and units. Besides the central government's criteria, the two provinces should also conduct further research, taking into account continuity and local characteristics. For some agencies and units with specific work requirements, such as the Fisheries Sub-Department, consideration should be given to whether officials and employees should be transferred to Dak Lak for work. Regarding the location of headquarters, in addition to the main offices in Dak Lak, consideration should also be given to establishing branch offices in Phu Yen if suitable for the work.
