In the aviation sector, the Gia Binh International Airport project (Bac Ninh) has started construction, with a capacity of 30 million passengers per year, and is expected to be completed by the end of 2026 in time for APEC 2027. This is positioned as a strategic dual-use airport, serving both economic development and ensuring national defense and security.
In addition, 22 social housing projects with tens of thousands of apartments have been started. The nationwide movement to eliminate temporary and dilapidated houses with more than 334,000 completed houses has reached the finish line 5 years early, becoming a "Special National Project". The Prime Minister affirmed that to date, there are basically no temporary or dilapidated houses in the country.
According to the Prime Minister, 63% of the total investment capital of more than VND1,280 trillion is from the private sector, the State only accounts for 37%. This reflects the Party's policy of developing the private economy into an important driving force, with the State playing a leading role and activating social resources.
He emphasized that these key projects will "turn the tide and transform the state" of national strategic infrastructure. They contribute to realizing the Party and State's vision of developing synchronous and modern infrastructure, creating new development space, reducing logistics costs, and enhancing the competitiveness of goods and businesses.
The projects also demonstrate the determination of the entire Party, the consensus of the political system, the joint efforts of the people and the business community, with the spirit of "what is said must be done, what is committed must be done, what is done must have concrete results".
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh believes that the country will have more new iconic works admired by the world, and many creative cultural and social spaces for the people to enjoy. He hopes that each project will be a "piece" that brightens the picture of the Vietnamese nation "Independence - Freedom - Peace - Unity - Integration - Strength - Prosperity - Civilization - Wealth".

To make the projects effective, the Prime Minister requested investors and related units to manage, operate safely, exploit effectively, and protect the environment "bright - green - clean - beautiful". For projects that have started construction, he requested localities, investors, and contractors to quickly resolve legal issues, arrange resources and equipment for urgent construction, and strive to complete ahead of schedule.
He emphasized that the implementation must be based on the principle of "3 yes, 2 no": beneficial to the State, people and businesses; no corruption, negativity, no loss or waste of people's assets, efforts and money. Sectors and localities need to assign "6 clear" tasks: clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear products, clear authority, to achieve "3 easy" tasks: easy to check, easy to urge, easy to evaluate.
The Prime Minister called on each individual and enterprise participating in the project to promote the spirit of self-reliance, dare to think, dare to do, innovate the way of thinking and doing. Large enterprises need to support small enterprises, creating a spillover effect in development. All must put the interests of the nation, the people, the prosperous and happy life of the people first, unite, work together, win together, and develop together.
"We are determined to make more efforts, faster and bolder to complete key projects on schedule and ahead of schedule, especially high-speed railways, nuclear power plants, high-tech centers, and digital transformation centers," said the Prime Minister.
