(NLDO) - Representatives of ministries and branches all agreed that there should be specific mechanisms and policies to develop the urban railway network system in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.

At the same time, review the provisions of the Law on Public Debt Management and the Law on State Budget to ensure consistency and synchronization in the legal system.
The draft Resolution also proposes that "The project shall have a front-end engineering design (FEED) to replace the basic design in the Project Feasibility Study Report". Commenting on this content, the representative of the Ministry of Construction requested that the drafting agency study and further evaluate the feasibility of this proposal; and at the same time, clearly stipulate the contents related to the front-end engineering design (FEED).
Based on comments and discussions, Deputy Minister of Justice Nguyen Thanh Tinh requested the drafting agency to continue reviewing and completing the proposal dossier and draft the Resolution in the spirit that the Resolution must stipulate specific mechanisms and policies, and must truly be an effective solution to develop the urban railway network system in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The Deputy Minister also requested the drafting agency to clarify the content of the implementation of the draft Resolution's objectives such as attracting resources; shortening procedures to the maximum; maximizing decentralization and delegation of authority and the economic and social efficiency of projects.
In addition, review and supplement regulations on the responsibilities of competent authorities in organizing the implementation of the Resolution, specifically the responsibilities of monitoring, checking, inspecting, and supervising of competent authorities, especially Party committees, People's Committees, People's Councils, etc., to ensure the implementation of policies to prevent corruption, negativity, and group interests.
