Prime Minister assigns the Ministry of Public Security to study and propose a plan for implementing the expressway project connecting Gia Binh International Airport to Haiphong. The Government Office’s Announcement No. 110 summarizes the Prime Minister Pham Minh Chính’s conclusions at the visit to review progress on the Gia Binh International Airport project and the road linking the airport to Hanoi. The Prime Minister listened to the briefing on the construction of Gia Binh International Airport (VIP terminal) on the morning of March 7. The Prime Minister noted that Gia Binh International Airport is a national-important project; beyond its role as an international airport, it should open a new development space for the capital region and Bac Ninh province, serving as a hub connecting with three northern growth poles: Hanoi, Hai Phong, and Quang Ninh. At the same time, strengthen connections with the Red River Delta provinces, the capital region, and connect internationally through road and rail border crossings at Lao Cai, Lang Son, Quang Ninh, Hai Phong... To achieve this, the Prime Minister assigns the Ministry of Public Security to study and propose the implementation plan for the expressway project connecting Gia Binh International Airport to Hai Phong. The plan must ensure cohesive connections and maximize the investment efficiency of the Gia Binh Airport project and the expressway project linking Gia Binh Airport to Hanoi. Bac Ninh Provincial People’s Committee should promptly review and adjust related plans under its authority; the plan must have a long-term vision (at least 100 years), look far ahead, think big, act decisively to complete by March. The Prime Minister requires relevant ministries, sectors, and localities (Hanoi, Bac Ninh, Hung Yen, Hai Phong, Quang Ninh) to review progress of projects connecting to Gia Binh Airport (road, rail, ports...), develop plans and roadmaps for implementation to ensure completion and operation in sync with Gia Binh International Airport. The head of government emphasized that during project execution the processes must ensure on schedule, quality, safety, environmental protection, and strong anti-corruption, anti-negativity, wastefulness. Bac Ninh Province is also tasked to coordinate with the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Public Security, and other relevant agencies to promptly finalize a proposal to establish a next-generation free-trade zone tied to the Gia Binh Gia Binh International Airport economic zone (to be submitted to the competent authority within March). The Prime Minister directs EVN to conduct a review and provide adequate, continuous power supply; VNPT and Viettel to lead telecommunications, information, and signal services; Bac Ninh province to provide water and other strategic infrastructure during construction, operation, and exploitation of the Gia Binh International Airport project. The ministries/agencies and localities should proactively coordinate with Hanoi City and Bac Ninh to implement projects within authority, especially in site clearance and relocation of technical infrastructure. Bac Ninh must supply construction materials to Hanoi, the investor, the investor and contractor as prescribed by law; promptly report to the competent authorities any content beyond authority.
