For the Long Thanh International Airport Project, Ha suggested that the Vietnam Airports Corporation, along with relevant ministries and agencies, work hand in hand with IC ICTAS to finalize solutions and detailed plans by March 2025, tackling any issues to fast-track package 5.10’s completion and synchronize progress across other project components, in line with the principle of "harmonized interests and shared risks."
