Provincial Party Standing Committee Directs Breaking Bottlenecks for Sun Group’s Mega-Project Portfolio

On the afternoon of June 3, at the headquarters of the Kim Boi Commune People’s Committee, the Standing Board of the Provincial Party Committee held a high-level working session with the leaders of Kim Boi, Dung Tien, and Muong Vang communes to dismantle bottlenecks and resolve complications impeding real estate and infrastructure projects developed by Sun Group.

Provincial Party Secretary Pham Dai Duong delivers his concluding directive address to seal the strategic working session.

Mr. Pham Dai Duong—Member of the Party Central Committee, Provincial Party Secretary, and Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation—chaired the working session. Attending the convention were key provincial leaders: Mr. Tran Duy Dong - Alternate Member of the Party Central Committee, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Committee; Mr. Bui Duc Hinh - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the Provincial People’s Council; Mr. Nguyen Manh Son - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee; alongside Standing Board Members, Vice Chairmen of the Provincial People’s Committee, leaders of line departments, sectors, and senior executives from Sun Group.

During the working session, Hoa Binh Sun Company Limited presented a comprehensive progress report on its strategic project portfolio, which includes: the upscale eco-urban, premium entertainment complex and the Cuoi Ha Cable Car System in Kim Boi and Dung Tien communes; the Doi Thung premium eco-urban, luxury resort, and entertainment complex; the Ho Kha premium hot-spring wellness eco-resort and urban township; the new rural residential cluster, resettlement infrastructure, and housing grid in Muong Vang Commune; the new rural residential area in Dung Tien Commune; and the Kim Boi - Lac Son Cable Car Route.

This massive project portfolio developed by Sun Group represents an aggregate investment capital pool exceeding 20,800 billion VND. Throughout execution, the projects have run into structural friction heavily concentrated within land acquisition and site clearance. Specifically, Kim Boi Commune still has roughly 6.2 hectares of residential and contiguous garden land awaiting physical asset inventories and finalized compensation budgeting. Dung Tien Commune has around 50 hectares of agricultural land and nearly 15 hectares of residential land caught up in pending statutory compliance procedures, while the relocation of local graves within the zoned project perimeter has lagged behind targets.

In Muong Vang Commune, the new rural residential cluster, resettlement infrastructure, and housing project—spanning nearly 32 hectares with an investment capital of over 1,300 billion VND—has basically wrapped up its site clearance architecture. However, two mega-projects—the Ho Kha hot-spring resort and the Doi Thung luxury eco-complex—face major clearance standoffs, as several local smallholders have withheld consent regarding the deployment blueprints, strictly requesting on-site resettlement solutions.

Addressing the assembly, Chairman Tran Duy Dong emphasized that Sun Group’s investment portfolio commands a massive capital footprint and is strategically expected to generate a powerful new growth engine, booming regional tourism, services, and trade, while unlocking jobs and elevating the income baseline for the local citizenry. Therefore, all government echelons and sectors must muster their highest focus on horizontal coordination to eliminate operational bugs.

The Chairman explicitly commanded the People’s Committees of Kim Boi, Dung Tien, and Muong Vang communes to rigorously audit all open workflows related to land extraction. Local managers must build a hard deadline schedule tailored to each specific project and zone, swiftly finalizing physical asset inventories and approving compensation, support, and resettlement blueprints in strict alignment with state regulations.

For cemetery relocations, resettlement enclaves, and public utility grids serving the projects, local authorities must accelerate infrastructure execution to guarantee that displaced citizens can confidently stabilize their daily lives. The Department of Agriculture and Environment is ordered to partner with relevant units to urgently compute concrete land prices for the projects, while drawing up a crystal-clear phase-by-phase timeline for official land allocations to brief the Provincial People’s Committee for oversight. Specialty line departments must proactively coordinate with the developer to immediately process items falling under their statutory jurisdiction, forbidding prolonged administrative backlogs from sabotaging the collective timeline.

Crucially, to compress execution times, the province has formally established that all investment procedures for this portfolio will be fast-tracked under a strict “Green Lane” mechanism. Involed bodies must deliver systematic progress updates and step up rigorous on-site inspections to troubleshoot emerging complications on the fly, ensuring these flagship works advance legally and punctually.

During the convention, leaders from the commune administrations presented fresh administrative bottlenecks arising from the newly implemented two-tier local governance model. The aggregate volume of workloads regarding land administration, site clearance, and resettlement has exploded, whereas the contingent of specialized civil servants remains thin. Compounding the issue, legacy data and land records transferred from the district level are incomplete, slowing down the processing velocity of files.

To resolve these legacy hurdles, Mr. Bui Duc Hinh—Chairman of the Provincial People’s Council—analyzed that Sun Group’s investment cluster holds exceptional significance for tapping into the region’s premium wellness and hot-spring resort tourism, carving out a fresh economic development frontier for the province’s Southern wing. He requested local teams to place absolute emphasis on site clearance, securing total public transparency and absolute legal compliance to foster a solid consensus among the public. Echoing this view, Vice Chairmen Phan Trong Tan and Dinh Cong Su requested line sectors to construct detailed master plans and cross-check real-world progress weekly.

Summing up the directive, Provincial Party Secretary Pham Dai Duong reaffirmed that the province formally categorizes Sun Group’s portfolio as flagship, non-state-budget investments that will directly fuel the province’s double-digit macroeconomic growth target. Therefore, local Party apparatuses, municipal authorities, and departments must step into the arena as a united front to smash the bottlenecks, treating this as a top-tier political task requiring a more drastic leadership posture than ever before.

Ultimately, the administrations of Kim Boi, Dung Tien, and Muong Vang communes must harness the weight of the entire political system to maximize mass mobilization, public dialogues, and consultations with citizens. They must definitively settle all grievances right at the grassroots, establishing a perfect harmony of interests among the State, the developer, and the legitimate statutory rights of the local populace within the project perimeter. Line agencies must swiftly clear the definitive bottlenecks surrounding land acquisition, land allocation, specific land pricing, resettlement zoning, and investment processing to rapidly drive the portfolio toward its triumphant completion.
