Of those already addressed, 27 projects have been completed or substantially completed, 223 are continuing implementation together with eight have ceased operations. Total disbursement is estimated at 2.6 trillion VND by the end of September and 5.7 trillion VND by the end of 2026.

Specifically, among 196 non-budget-funded projects, 65, or 33.2 %, have been addressed, leaving 131 projects. Of the 200 state budget-funded projects, 193, or 96.5 %, have been addressed, with seven remaining. The main bottlenecks involve land, forestry, site clearance, planning, construction, specialised procedures and investor capacity. Of the 138 projects still pending, 10 require guidance from central authorities, seven are being reviewed for eligibility under special mechanisms, alongside 121 fall under local jurisdiction.

At the meeting, delegates examined each group of projects, clarified the causes and responsibilities, as well as proposed solutions for cases still facing obstacles, particularly those involving land, site clearance, investment procedures and investor capacity.

Concluding the meeting, Provincial Party Secretary, comrade Luong Nguyen Minh Triet acknowledged and commended the efforts of the PPC, departments, sectors along with relevant agencies, while requesting that all delayed and long-stalled projects combined with works be resolved in 2026. All projects must be classified into four levels, with their legal status, causes, lead agencies and specific responsibilities clearly identified. The resolution process must adhere to the “six clarities” principle and comply with regulations, with no attempt to legitimise violations or allow projects to remain stalled due to buck-passing or fear of taking responsibility. Cases showing signs of violations must be handled in parallel with efforts to remove bottlenecks as well as determine responsibility, while issues beyond local authority must be promptly referred to central authorities for guidance.

The PPC must complete the classification and assignment of responsibility for handling the projects by September 30. For projects whose obstacles have been resolved, implementation must continue to be closely monitored alongside expedited to ensure resources are put to productive use. Contractors lacking the required capacity or causing prolonged delays must be considered for replacement or contract termination in accordance with regulations.
