In addition, several necessary tasks, such as upgrading the parking area and the old terminal of Vinh Airport to meet the rapidly increasing demand for air travel, were also proposed by the leaders to Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Nhat.

Concluding the meeting, Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Nhat highly appreciated the results of state management of inland waterways in Nghe An province in the past period. He also requested the Nghe An Department of Transport to strengthen and focus more on disseminating information to the public so that they understand and strictly comply with the Law on Inland Waterway Traffic; conduct inspections, detect and strictly punish cases of deliberate violations regarding the use and operation of waterway vehicles, minimizing damage caused by accidents.
In particular, the industry's management agencies need to accelerate administrative reforms, as this is a crucial factor in our efforts to rapidly increase the volume of goods transported by sea and river. Regarding the recommendations and proposals from Nghe An province, Deputy Minister of Transport Nguyen Nhat assigned relevant departments and units under the Ministry to review and examine them in order to find reasonable and timely solutions, especially the construction of anti-erosion pillars for the Yen Xuan bridge, creating the best conditions for the socio-economic development of Nghe An province.
