The session also considers investment policies for several key transport projects fostering regional connectivity. These aim to reduce traffic pressure, expand urban development space, strengthen regional links, and create long-term development momentum for the city and the Southern Key Economic Region.
Specifically, the Council is set to agree on assigning the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee as the competent authority to implement the project extending the Ben Thanh – Suoi Tien Metro Line to the Dong Nai Provincial Administration Center and Long Thanh International Airport.
