🔜 Addressing the event, PM Chinh affirmed that the Party and State identified infrastructure development, including transport infrastructure, as one of three strategic breakthroughs. The State mobilises all resources to invest in infrastructure, but there are focal points, including the eastern North-South expressway.
He hailed the efforts by administrations at all levels of Ninh Binh and Nam Dinh provinces as well as relevant agencies in overcoming difficulties to complete the project with high quality.
The PM requested ministries and agencies to continue accomplishing necessary procedures to ensure the project’s effectiveness.
