Speaking at the ceremony, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh stated: Over the years, the Party and State have always paid attention to the issue of housing for people, especially promoting the development of social housing for low-income people and workers in industrial parks. However, state budget resources are limited, and resources must be allocated to other priorities. Therefore, it is necessary to build institutions, mechanisms, and policies, pay attention to planning, mobilize resources for social housing construction, learn from experience while doing, in the spirit of promoting public-private partnership, with public investment leading private investment.

Along with that, ministries and branches must continue to research and perfect mechanisms and policies; localities must proactively and actively participate; investors must promote the spirit of mutual love and affection; industrial parks, export processing zones, urban areas, places with many workers and low-income people must contribute ideas to build and perfect regulations.

The Prime Minister noted that policies must be consistent to solve the housing difficulties for workers and low-income earners; it is necessary to support both builders and users of social housing, including the forms of buying, renting and renting to buy houses. "Settling down is the way to work. Building social housing and housing for low-income earners is a major policy of the Party and State. We must join hands and find the most effective solution to implement the construction of 1 million spacious, beautiful social housing apartments, ensuring environmental hygiene, affordable prices, suitable for low-income earners," the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister requested Bac Giang and other localities to continue to pay attention to and do a good job in planning, allocating land funds, implementing social housing projects with synchronous institutions in culture, sports, society, environment, etc. to create the best conditions for workers; effectively use the credit package of 120 trillion VND for social housing and housing for low-income people.
