Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has requested relevant ministries, agencies, and the Mekong Delta's An Giang Province to accelerate the implementation of infrastructure projects in preparation for the APEC Economic Leaders' Week 2027 to be held on the province's Phu Quoc island.
He made the direction while chairing a meeting held in Hanoi on November 14 to review the implementation of these projects.
For hosting the APEC 2027, An Giang province was tasked with implementing 21 infrastructure projects in the Phu Quoc special zone, with a total estimated investment of VND137 trillion ($5.2 billion), including 10 public-funded projects worth over VND20 trillion and 11 projects under the public-private partnership (PPP) model totaling over VND116 trillion.
These include transportation connectivity systems, airport facilities, maritime passenger ports, underground and digital infrastructure for electricity and telecommunications, freshwater reservoirs, waste treatment systems, urban beautification, conference centers, resettlement areas, and mixed-use urban areas.
To date, An Giang province has selected investors for seven PPP projects and approved and selected contractors for eight public-funded investment projects. The province is committed to completing all infrastructure projects for APEC 2027 on schedule.
The Prime Minister urged closer coordination among ministries, sectors, and An Giang province to ensure all infrastructure components for the APEC 2027 Conference are completed on time, with quality and international standards.
