A group of visitors from the Vietnamese Ministry of Planning and Investment and some central government agencies, led by its Deputy Minister Nguyen Duc Trung, recently had a working session with the Da Nang authorities about the implementation and disbursement of public investment plans in 2019.

During the meeting, municipal People’s Committee Vice Chairman Dang Viet Dung remarked his city has taken the initiative to implement and disburse public investment.

Vice Chairman Dung, however, pointed out some difficulties relating administrative regulations and procedures facing the city over the past time. He added the consistency and synchronisation between the Law on Public Investment, Law on Investment, Construction Law, Land Law, Law on Environmental Protection, and some decrees and circulars, have not been ensured. This has resulted in slowing down the disbursement progress,  and delaying site clearance and compensation work.

Vice Chairman Dung also asked relevant national government agencies to simplify investment procedures, and ensure the consistency and synchronisation between law documents in order to accelerate the progress of capital disbursement, thereby speeding up the implementation of projects in Da Nang.

Mr Dung also asked national government ministries to soon grant medium-term and annual capitals to the city in a bid to ensure the on-schedule progress of its key projects.

For his part, Deputy Minister Trung agreed with Da Nang’s suggestions. He also pledged to accelerate investment procedures to facilitate the city to implement the Lien Chieu Port project soon.

Mr Trung noted according to new national regulations, the problems and difficulties facing Da Nang, and the country as a whole, will be solved. In particular, investment procedures will be simplified and the allocation of capital plans will be renewed.
