Download Minister Tran Hong Minh: In 2025, many key tasks have been implemented, completed and achieved important results in the fields of road, aviation, maritime, inland waterways, railways, housing, urban areas - Photo: VGP/Nhat BacAt the Conference summarizing the work in 2025, implementing tasks in 2026 of the Government and local authorities, held on January 8, the Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh reported impressive numbers: in 2025 alone, the whole country will start and inaugurate 564 projects, with a total investment exceeding 5.14 million billion VND. This is not only a quantitative result, but also shows the strategic depth in thinking about national infrastructure development. Infrastructure - one of three strategic breakthroughs Resolution of the 13th Party Congress identifies the development of a synchronous, modern infrastructure system as one of three strategic breakthroughs. In particular, transportation infrastructure plays a backbone role, creating the foundation for economic growth, regional connectivity and improving national competitiveness. The focus is placed on key national transport infrastructure projects, especially the basic goal of completing the Eastern North-South Expressway, from Cao Bang to Ca Mau. During the period 2021-2025, the Party, National Assembly and Government have devoted huge resources to the transport and construction sectors. A series of resolutions and action programs were issued synchronously, with the goal that by the end of 2025, the whole country will have about 3,000 km of expressways. This is a challenging goal if looking back at the starting point in 2020, when Vietnam only had 1,163 km of expressways. According to Minister Tran Hong Minh, 2025 will see many key tasks deployed and completed in most fields: roads, aviation, maritime, inland waterways, railways, housing and urban development. A series of large national and regional projects have become new symbols of Vietnams infrastructure: Long Thanh International Airport; Terminal T3 of Tan Son Nhat International Airport; Noi Bai T2 Terminal; strategic seaports such as Lach Huyen (Hai Phong), Cai Mep - Thi Vai; Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien urban railway... In particular, the completion, operation and technical opening of 3,345 km of the main expressway, along with 458 intersections and paths, has exceeded the target of 3,000 km set by the Government. In addition, 1,586.5 km of national highways and 1,701 km of coastal roads were completed, creating an increasingly complete and multi-modal transportation network. In 2025 alone, the commencement and inauguration of 564 projects with a total investment of over 5.14 million billion VND has created a strong push for economic growth, while opening up new development space for regions and inter-regions. Many strategic projects have been implemented such as: Ca Mau - Dat Mui expressway, route to Hon Khoai port, Lao Cai - Hanoi - Hai Phong railway. At the same time, important procedures are also being completed to strive to start the North-South high-speed railway project by the end of 2026. In the aviation and seaport sectors, projects such as Phu Quoc International Airport, Hon Khoai General Port, or the Red River landscape boulevard not only have economic significance but also contribute to shaping the urban and tourism development space in the long term.

First of all, there is a lesson about prioritizing resources; Instead of spreading investment, it is necessary to focus on national key projects, large scale, pervasive and capable of connecting regions and inter-regions. In addition, perfecting institutions and policies to promptly remove bottlenecks in site clearance, construction materials, and investment procedures is a key factor. The National Assembly and the Government have issued many specific mechanisms; The Prime Minister directly directs through the State Steering Committee on key projects and seven working delegations led by Deputy Prime Ministers. The emulation movement 500 days and nights to complete 3,000 km of highways has created a vibrant competitive atmosphere, spreading a sense of responsibility throughout the system. Another important lesson is to promote the combined strength of the entire political system and the consensus of the people. The assignment of clear people, clear tasks, clear responsibilities, clear time, clear products and clear results has helped limit the situation of avoiding and pushing responsibilities, thereby speeding up the progress of projects. Social housing - a pillar of sustainable security In parallel with infrastructure development, 2025 also marks a clear progress in social housing policy. Minister Tran Hong Minh affirmed that taking care of housing for low-income people and industrial park workers is a major, deeply humane policy of the Party and State. A series of legal policies andA special mechanism has been issued to remove difficulties and encourage the development of social housing. In 2025 alone, the National Assembly issued a resolution, the Government issued three decrees, and the Ministry of Construction issued two circulars, focusing on reforming administrative procedures, moving from pre-inspection to post-inspection, and shortening project implementation time. As a result, to date, the whole country has deployed the construction of 657,441 social housing units, of which 169,143 units have been completed. In 2025 alone, 102,633 units will be completed and 95,630 more units will be started. The achievements in 2025 are the starting po
