An Giang steps up efforts to ensure progress, quality of APEC 2027 projects
Many construction packages are now underway, with five projects meeting or exceeding their planned schedules.
The southern province of An Giang is intensifying efforts to ensure the successful execution of infrastructure projects for the APEC Economic Leaders’ Week 2027, scheduled to take place in Phu Quoc special zone. Under Prime Minister's Decision No. 948/QD-TTg issued on May 17, 2025, An Giang has been tasked with implementing 21 projects with an investment of over VND137 trillion (US$5.22 billion).
These projects are divided into two categories: ten public investment projects and 11 projects developed under public-private partnerships (PPP) and business investment, with investor selection completed for all.
Several projects are ahead of schedule or have met their planned timelines, including the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, a project focusing on technical infrastructure, digital transformation, and the construction of a smart operations center for comprehensive management of the Phu Quoc special zone, and the Bai Dat Do mixed-use urban area.
An Giang is also working on a master plan for activities marking the APEC Year 2027 in Phu Quoc, with the steering committee coordinating its efforts and subcommittees defining tasks, schedules, and responsibilities. The province has established strict mechanisms and policies to ensure adherence to legal regulations and tightened management of public finances, budgets, and land, particularly in PPP projects, to prevent corruption and wastefulness.
Authorities in An Giang have emphasized the importance of maintaining transparency, safety, and quality across all projects, and have tasked provincial police and specialized agencies with closely monitoring high-risk areas to ensure efficient use of State resources.
