Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on January 28 inspected key works and projects serving APEC 2027 in the Phu Quoc special zone (Phu Quoc Island) in southern An Giang province.
Visiting the Phu Quoc International Airport expansion project, PM Chinh asked contractors to mobilise additional manpower, equipment and machinery, engage more subcontractors, and organise round-the-clock construction, including during holidays and the Lunar New Year, to speed up progress. At the same time, he stressed that technical and aesthetic standards, quality, safety and environmental hygiene must be strictly ensured.
Inspecting construction works on Provincial Road DT.975, which connects the strategic development corridor with Phu Quoc International Airport, PM Chinh called for faster site clearance and construction progress matching actual ground conditions to ensure the overall project timeline.
On the same day, the PM chaired a working session with relevant ministries, sectors, local authorities, and investors to address difficulties and bottlenecks to accelerate the implementation of APEC-related projects.
He also attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Bai Dat Do (Ruby Beach) mixed-use urban area and the Ong Quan Mountain mixed-use eco-tourism and urban area. They are two of the 21 APEC-related projects.
An Giang province has been tasked with implementing 21 projects, including 10 public investment projects and 11 projects under public – private partnership (PPP) and business – investment models. All 10 public investment projects have had investor and contractor selection completed, with disbursement in 2025 exceeding VND2.6 trillion ($98.8 million), equivalent to 64.2% of the plan.
