Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung has given approval to a plan to split the Dau Giay - Phan Thiet Highway project in the south into two road sections.
The Dau Giay - Phan Thiet Highway will be 98.7km in length with four lanes built under international standards.
Under the plan, the highway would connect the southern province of Dong Nai to the sea tourism city of Phan Thiet in the southern province of Binh Thuan.
The first section will cover a length of 36km, extending from Dau Giay in Thong Nhat district to Xuan Loc district in Dong Nai province. Investment comes from Government loans from the World Bank's International Development Association (IDA).
The second section will cover a length of 62.7km from Xuan Loc district to Phan Thiet city.
The Transport Ministry, in coordination with the Ministry of Planning and Investment and relevant agencies, will be responsible for reaching agreement with the World Bank on plans for the investment mode and arrangement for loans from IDA for the first section of the project in 2016.
To begin construction of the first section on time, the Prime Minister has also asked the Ministry of Planning and Investment to work with the Transport Ministry and agencies on formalities associated with IDA loans and to arrange counter-capital from the State budget.
This is the first pilot transport infrastructure project in Vietnam under the Private - Public - Partnership (PPP) investment mode, with capital from the private sector and State. The State's financial participation ensures that the project would be attractive to private investors.
After construction is completed, the Transport Ministry will choose an investor to transfer rights for management and operation of the highway.
The highway is expected to accommodate high-density transportation. It will run through many industrial parks and seaports, as well as to proposed international airports.

The southern province of Dong Nai has made improving road infrastructure the top priority in its list of measures to achieve its economic goals for next year, including an economic growth rate from 11.5 to 12.5 percent.
The Ministry of Transport’s policy of selling operation rights of some transport infrastructure works has drawn public interest, the Quan doi Nhan dan (People’s Army) reported.
A 142.2 km stretch of the Phan Thiet – Nha Trang Expressway will be built under the public–private partnership (PPP) mode, according to the Cuu Long Corp. for Investment Development and Project Investment for Infrastructure (Cuu Long CIPM).
Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.
In recent interviews granted to the Vietnam News Agency (VNA)'s reporters in Mexico, prominent figures reflected on the press’s legacy and its global influence.

The VNA delegation, led by General Director Vu Viet Trang, actively participated in the event, engaging in both professional and diplomatic activities.
In the context where AI dominates and produces vast volumes of content, the only sustainable path forward for journalism is to focus on high-quality content and core values. Journalism must redefine its mission - not to report the fastest, but to provide the most profound and trustworthy value.
Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

With strong support from local authorities, businesses, organisations, and residents, the province has successfully built or repaired 10,707 homes for disadvantaged households, including war veterans, families of martyrs, ethnic minority people, and low-income residents.
Throughout its resistance against colonialists and imperialists, Vietnam developed a revolutionary press that has served as a benchmark for just and legitimate causes worldwide.
