More efforts needed to remove obstacles for long-delayed projects

Deputy Secretary of the Son La provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Dinh Viet on March 16 chaired a meeting to address difficulties facing long-delayed projects financed by both private capital and the State budget. The meeting was attended by members of the Standing Board of the provincial Party Committee, vice chairpersons of the provincial People’s Committee, leaders of provincial departments and agencies, as well as representatives of project investors.

There are currently 95 investment projects that have been identified as facing difficulties or obstacles. They span various sectors, including education and training, cultural and social affairs, agriculture, minerals, industry and trade, energy, land management, construction, transport infrastructure, urban development, as well as national defence, security and border management.

So far, difficulties have been solved for 22 projects, allowing them to resume implementation in line with the planned schedules. The remaining projects, however, continue to face delays due to obstacles in site clearance, which have affected construction progress and final settlement procedures. In addition, several projects have exceeded their implementation timelines and require extension approvals for continued execution.

Leaders of provincial departments and agencies attend the meeting.

At the meeting, participants focused on discussing and proposing solutions to address obstacles in site clearance during project implementation. They also emphasised the need to strengthen coordination among provincial departments, sectors and local authorities to promptly handle emerging issues. In addition, adjustments to planning and design were proposed to ensure project progress, enhance urban landscape and improve overall feasibility.

Concluding the meeting, the Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee requested vice chairpersons to closely follow their assigned tasks and intensify coordination with provincial departments, sectors and localities to address outstanding issues.

He also urged departments and agencies to strengthen coordination and focus on supporting investors in addressing difficulties and obstacles, ensuring that project implementation complies with legal regulations. Local authorities and project investors were asked to proactively review and complete legal documentation, fully grasp existing challenges and propose effective solutions.

During project implementation, all actions must be carried out within proper authority while ensuring a balance of interests between residents and businesses. In particular, violations must not be legitimised, and situations that could lead to complex complaints or disputes must be avoided.

The overall objective, Viet stressed, is to prioritise projects that can be carried out quickly before tackling more complicated cases, with the determination to complete the settlement of many projects within 2026.
