According to JICA, Vietnam has maintained sustainable economic growth over the past years with the construction of major infrastructure works. However, accidents at construction sites and conflicts during project implementation still occurred due to limited management.
Masajumi Yamauchi, chief of JICA project delegation, stressed the need to issue a system to evaluate contractors’ capacity to raise their awareness of construction management, quality and safety.
Head of the Construction Ministry’s Department of International Cooperation Pham Khanh Toan said the event is expected to improve the use of public investment in construction and capacity of parties concerned, issues regarding construction bidding such as dumping and fraud.
