In addition, the group shared that it is planning to increase cooperation with Vietnamese partners in the fields of aviation and logistics, such as the construction of Long Thanh airport phase 2 and Chu Lai airport.

Mr. Gautam Adani hopes that the Vietnamese Government will direct, create conditions and make some proposals and recommendations so that businesses can promote investment activities in Vietnam.

After listening to the response from leaders of ministries, sectors and localities on the proposal of Adani Group, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh welcomed the group's plan to cooperate, invest and expand investment in Vietnam in the coming time with a total investment capital of about 10 billion USD.

Regarding the Lien Chieu port project, the Prime Minister emphasized the policy of choosing one investor to invest in the overall infrastructure of the project, while the exploitation can be cooperated with Vietnamese enterprises.

He requested the People's Committee of Da Nang City, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Planning and Investment, and relevant agencies and localities to directly discuss with Adani Group immediately after this meeting to thoroughly handle related issues, agree on methods, and implement procedures according to regulations.

Welcoming the group’s proposal to participate in the construction of Long Thanh airport phase 2, Chu Lai airport, etc., the Prime Minister asked Adani to discuss with Vietnamese agencies to carry out procedures in accordance with the law. In particular, the Prime Minister emphasized that investing in Chu Lai airport is very favorable because it has a very strategic location and great exploitation potential.

Once again, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized the spirit of "only discussing, not retreating", "what is said is done, what is committed must be done, what is done, what is done must have specific results and products", implementing work with "clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear products, clear results", with focus, key points, completing each task thoroughly; "harmonizing benefits, sharing risks", "working together, enjoying together, winning together, developing together".
