He called on provincial departments, agencies and local authorities to demonstrate greater initiative and determination while strengthening coordination throughout the implementation process.

The department has been tasked with consolidating the information and finalising the province’s comprehensive plan for reviewing and resolving delayed projects before submitting it to the Standing Board of the Provincial Party Committee for consideration by July 29, 2026.

The province also aims to obtain approval from the competent authorities for the proposed solutions to all delayed projects before October 15, 2026.

Once the approved policy framework is in place, relevant departments and agencies are required to immediately implement solutions for projects covered by National Assembly Resolution No. 29/2026/QH16 and Government Decree No. 147/2026/ND-CP.

For projects falling within provincial authority, departments and agencies were instructed to proactively advise the Provincial People’s Committee on appropriate solutions, with the goal of completing the resolution of these projects within 2026.
