Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on January 2 signed off the Politburo’s Resolution No 31-NQ/TW on orientations and tasks for the development of HCMC by 2030, with a vision to 2045.

Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung stressed that traffic jams are a serious issue in HCMC, hindering the development of the southern economic hub while chairing a conference in HCMC on July 12.

HCMC, the Southeast region and the southern key economic region need special mechanisms in order to become the leading economic locomotive in the surrounding area and the country.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stressed the need to take a joint mechanism managing the development of the southeastern region and the southern key economic region in general while chairing a conference in Ho Chi Minh City on July 9.

The 15th National Assembly (NA) adopted resolutions on some major road projects, including the construction project of Ring Belt No.3 of HCMC. In an interview with the Sai Gon Giai Phong Newspaper, Chairman of the HCMC People’s Committee Phan Van Mai shared information about the project's to-do list.

As planned, the construction project of Ring Belt No.3., which connects HCMC, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Long An, will be submitted to the National Assembly (NA) for ratification by the Government on June 6. If the project is approved, it will be an important driving force in the development of the southern key economic region.

The first phase of the Ring Road No.4 project connecting HCMC with neighboring provinces of Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Long An, and Vung Tau is expected to be completed by 2028.

Ho Chi Minh City and its neighbouring Long An Province plan to widen seven roads that connect each other by 2025 at a cost of VND24.4 trillion (US$1.05 billion).
