In particular, the Phu Bai International Airport Terminal T2 project was completed and put into operation in April 2023 with a capacity to serve 5 million passengers/year.
In addition to the above results, the industrial production situation in the province in April 2023 continued to face many difficulties and challenges due to the general impact of the economic crisis and the world political instability; Export and import turnover decreased compared to the same period in 2022.
Mr. Nguyen Van Phuong also pointed out some difficulties and problems of the province, such as difficulties in calling for investment in production projects in industrial parks and industrial clusters; difficulties in investment projects outside industrial parks and economic zones; foreign labor issues in the locality; difficulties and long implementation time of site clearance, slow site handover...
