Concluding the meeting, Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council Vo Van Minh emphasized that key interregional and interprovincial transport projects play a particularly important role in Ho Chi Minh City’s new-phase development orientation for urban space, logistics, industry, services, and regional economic connectivity.
He requested relevant agencies to continue promoting a strong sense of responsibility, proactively strengthen coordination, and focus on resolving difficulties related to investment procedures, site clearance, planning, investment priority sequencing, and capital sources in order to ensure implementation progress for ongoing and planned projects, as well as PPP investor-attraction projects for key transport infrastructure works connecting Ho Chi Minh City with neighboring regions and provinces.
The Chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Council requested the Economic and Budgetary Committee of the City People’s Council to further strengthen oversight of project implementation and promptly recommend and propose solutions to remove obstacles in order to accelerate investment progress, thereby contributing to the development of a modern and synchronized transport infrastructure system that will serve as a driving force for the rapid and sustainable development of the city and the entire Southern Key Economic Region.
