Prime Minister Le Minh Hung has requested relevant ministries, agencies and localities to speed up progress of key infrastructure projects, while chairing a meeting of the State Steering Committee for key national projects in the transport sector in Hanoi on June 27.
The Government has identified 38 key projects with total investment capital of around VND5 quadrillion (around $190 billion) for the five-year period of 2026-2030. In 2026 alone, the Government has allocated VND220 trillion for these projects.
The PM requested the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Construction to strengthen supervision of airport construction projects, including Long Thanh International Airport in southern Dong Nai city, and Gia Binh airport in northern Bac Ninh province.
He tasked the Ministry of Construction to promptly select foreign contractors and consultants to carry out the feasibility study report for the North-South high-speed railway project.
The Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Construction, and the State Appraisal Council were tasked to organize the verification of the feasibility study report for the Lao Cai-Ha Noi – Hai Phong railway project and submit to the National Assembly Standing Committee prior to July 10, 2026.
The progress of these projects will be made public via the Vietnam Government Portal, according to the PM.
