Speaking at the Ministry of Construction’s conference on January 6, Deputy Prime Minister Trinh Dinh Dung asked for closer monitoring of the implementation of urban planning to thoroughly address traffic congestion in HCM City and Hanoi.
Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Trinh Dinh Dung attended a conference organised by the Ministry of Construction (MOC) in Hanoi on January 6 to sum up the ministry’s operation in 2016 and launch its tasks for 2017.

Deputy PM Dung highlighted that infrastructure development cannot meet demand if management capacity is poor.
He noted that the traffic congestion in the two cities cannot be dealt with by increasing investment in infrastructure.

The minister noted that on the basis of the ministry’s direction, local authorities will follow and advise governments at all levels to carry out the sector’s tasks in 2017.
In 2017, the sector will continue completing institution, preventing loss and corruption, said Ha, adding that the ministry will also work harder to create an equal and fair business environment for all organisations, businesses and individuals.
