Hanoi: Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh called for swift and humane action to resolve the 2,981 stalled projects that are tying up critical resources while speaking at a national conference in Hanoi. The projects, mired in legal and administrative snags, drag on the economy, with issues ranging from land use, management and planning disputes to potential misconduct and bureaucratic gridlock. While some projects are under the oversight of central authorities, the majority fall to local authorities to untangle.

According to Vietnam News Agency, the Prime Minister highlighted the urgency of addressing these stalled projects, emphasizing the need for collaboration between central and local authorities. The stalled projects have been a significant concern due to their impact on economic development and resource allocation. The Prime Minister urged authorities at all levels to expedite the resolution process and ensure that the solutions are both efficient and considerate of all stakeholders involved.

The conference in Hanoi served as a platform for discussing the challenges and potential strategies for overcoming the obstacles that have hindered progress on these projects. The Prime Minister’s call to action reflects a broader initiative to streamline administrative processes and enhance governmental transparency and efficiency.
