PV:Infrastructure development, including transportation, is one of the important strategic breakthroughs. Through research and discussion, how do you see this issue mentioned in the documents of the 13th National Party Congress?
CopperMr. Hoang Phu Hien:The draft document submitted to the 13th National Congress this time has demonstrated three breakthroughs, including breakthroughs in perfecting and synchronizing institutions, developing human resources, and prioritizing high-quality human resources.
In particular, there is a breakthrough in the development of synchronous and modern infrastructure in both economic and social aspects, including prioritizing the development of a number of key traffic works, which is reflected in the direction and tasks of completing the Eastern Expressway, focusing on completing 1,700 km of coastal road from Quang Ninh to Ca Mau Cape; developing phase 1 of Long Thanh International Airport; upgrading a number of seaports and important National Highway axes.
PV:To have traffic infrastructureinformationsynchronization will require huge resources, soaccording to you how toIndustry Geffective resource mobilizationfruit?
CopperMr. Hoang Phu Hien:Currently, to mobilize resources for transportation, the resources for implementation come from the budget, public investment capital, ODA, preferential loans and mobilizing resources from the private sector.

In the coming period, to develop transport infrastructure and achieve breakthroughs as proposed in the XIII Congress documents, the fundamental solution, in my opinion, is to use public investment capital as a "seed" capital source, from which to mobilize other social resources to implement PPP projects; while preferential loan resources are increasingly limited. To do so, it is necessary to implement solutions to share benefits and profits, and ensure trust for investors.
PV:What solutions will Nghe An Transport Department implement to contribute to implementing strategic infrastructure breakthroughs in the province, sir?
CopperMr. Hoang Phu Hien:For Nghe An, to create a breakthrough in developing transport infrastructure, first of all, the Transport sector coordinates with the Ministry of Transport to focus on planning: road traffic planning, airport planning, seaport upgrading planning... From there, put it into the planning for the Government to invest in the coming period.

In addition, urgently develop a project to develop key transport infrastructure in the 2021 - 2025 term, divide the projects, and from there allocate resources for investment. In particular, currently in terms of roads, we need to complete the North - South expressway section through Nghe An province, 79 km long, and in the coming period, try to mobilize resources to invest in the 79 km coastal road through the province.
A current limitation of the province is the seaport, so we are trying to upgrade and renovate the Cua Lo Port channel, calling on investors to invest in deep-water ports in Nghi Thiet and Dong Hoi; along with that, mobilizing resources to invest in upgrading Vinh International Airport...
These are some key projects that the Transport sector will focus on coordinating to implement in the coming period.
PV:Thank you, comrade!
