Other key cooperation projects will include the expressway CT21 which runs through Da Nang, Thanh My, Bo Y border gate in Kon Tum Province in the direction of considering using the Da Nang - Quang Ngai expressway to limit ground clearance and routes connecting from Quang Nam Province’s Nam Giang international border gate to Da Nang.

Also outstandingly, heed will be paid to making joint research, preparing investment preparation and seeking capital to implement the mass rapid transit (MRT) and light rail transit (LRT) lines connecting the two localities.

This project’s feasibility study report is slated to reach completion by 2024 while construction work will commence in the 2025 - 2030 period.

The two localities will advise the national government to soon invest in expanding and upgrading national highways 14G, 14B and 14D in the 2021 - 2025 period; especially roads according to the directions given by Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on May 6, 2022.
