In the final days of the year, construction activity at key infrastructure projects serving the 2027 APEC Summit in Phu Quoc Special Zone, An Giang Province, has intensified.
Among the 21 projects assigned by the Prime Minister to An Giang Province in preparation for the 2027 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders’ Meeting (2027 APEC Summit), two flagship developments, the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport and the APEC Conference Center, have recorded notable progress. The advances reflect strong political resolve and a proactive approach by local authorities, the special zone, and project investors.
The Phu Quoc International Airport expansion project is being developed by Sun Airport Corporation, a subsidiary of Sun Group, with a total investment of VND21.998 trillion (US$846 million).
