Southern An Giang province tasked with implementing 21 projects serving APEC 2027 events, including Phu Quoc International Airport expansion project.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on January 28 inspected key
works and projects serving APEC 2027 in the Phu Quoc special zone (Phu Quoc Island) in southern An
Giang province.

Visiting the Phu Quoc International Airport expansion
project, PM Chinh asked contractors to mobilise additional manpower, equipment
and machinery, engage more subcontractors, and organise round-the-clock
construction, including during holidays and the Lunar New Year, to speed up
progress. At the same time, he stressed that technical and aesthetic standards,
quality, safety and environmental hygiene must be strictly ensured.

Inspecting construction works on Provincial Road DT.975,
which connects the strategic development corridor with Phu Quoc International
Airport, PM Chinh called for faster site clearance and construction progress
matching actual ground conditions to ensure the overall project timeline.

On the same day, the PM chaired a working session with relevant ministries, sectors, local authorities, and investors to
address difficulties and bottlenecks to accelerate the implementation of
APEC-related projects.

He also attended the groundbreaking ceremonies for the Bai
Dat Do (Ruby Beach) mixed-use urban area and the Ong Quan Mountain mixed-use
eco-tourism and urban area. They are two of the 21 APEC-related projects.

An Giang province has been tasked with implementing 21
projects, including 10 public investment projects and 11 projects under public – private partnership (PPP) and business – investment models. All 10 public
investment projects have had investor and contractor selection completed, with
disbursement in 2025 exceeding VND2.6 trillion ($98.8 million), equivalent to
64.2% of the plan.
