Speaking at a meeting of the Executive Committee of the municipal People’s Committee Party Committee for the 2025-2030 term on April 10, Nguyen Thanh Toan, Deputy Director of the city’s Department of Finance, said relevant departments, agencies, localities and investors are working to shorten procedures as much as possible while ensuring compliance with current regulations, with the goal of meeting conditions to start construction on schedule.

The projects include a central square and administrative center in Thu Thiem New Urban Area, a riverside park at Ben Nha Rong-Khanh Hoi, a rail line linking Ben Thanh and Thu Thiem, an urban expressway connecting Ho Tram and Long Thanh International Airport, an international university urban area in Hoc Mon, and major port projects in Cai Mep Ha and Can Gio. These projects are expected to contribute to the city’s development and have been closely directed by the municipal Party Committee and People’s Committee.

He added that special mechanisms under National Assembly Resolution 260 have been effectively applied to the first major projects in the city. Following the Rach Chiec Sports Complex, the Thu Thiem central square and administrative center project will continue to be implemented, thus contributing to urban renewal, the development of a modern central area, improved public administration and better services for residents and businesses.

The Ben Nha Rong-Khanh Hoi riverside park project is of particular significance, as it is linked to historical and cultural education and commemorating President Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary activities. The project is expected to be completed by National Day on September 2, 2026.

Nguyen Thanh Toan said accelerating preparations and launching these projects simultaneously has significant political meaning and helps mobilize social resources, accelerate public investment disbursement, stimulate private investment and create strong spillover effects for Ho Chi Minh City’s economic growth in 2026 and the following years.
