Proposing solutions to handle problems and shortcomings in the field of transportation

(HNMO) - Discussing on the sidelines of the National Assembly during the question-and-answer session on the transport sector on the afternoon of June 7, National Assembly deputies said that the selected questions were an opportunity for Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang to share and propose solutions to handle the problems and issues that have been occurring for a long time.

The content of the question is about practical issues that are happening.

The issues raised for Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang are also very correct, very accurate and very difficult even though he has only been in the position for 7 months, speaking before the National Assembly for the first time. These are all issues that need to be handled immediately, which are happening in practice such as the story of vehicle registration and driver's license issuance and the core issue for socio-economic development is investment in the transport infrastructure system.

I think that the Minister will certainly face considerable pressure from the National Assembly delegates who want to have more solutions to develop the transport system; especially in the face of urgent demands from life. However, this is also a condition for the Minister to have the opportunity to share and propose solutions, together with the National Assembly to have breakthroughs to have a developed transport infrastructure system, to handle the problems and problems that have been going on for a long time.

Regarding vehicle registration and driver's license issuance, I think there should be immediate solutions as well as long-term, systematic solutions; inspection and supervision must be done well to avoid violations like in the past.

To accelerate development, traffic must be synchronized.

During the short time answering questions on the afternoon of June 7, although this was the first time he appeared before the National Assembly, Minister of Transport Nguyen Van Thang answered accurately and correctly the contents raised by the National Assembly deputies, meeting the expectations of voters and the people. I also hope that during the remaining time answering questions, the Minister will answer thoroughly, comprehensively and frankly the issues raised by the National Assembly deputies.

The issue I am concerned about at the question and answer session is that to accelerate development, we must synchronize other sectors to connect the transport sector. When there is a highway, we must connect with seaports, port hubs, and railways to connect a synchronous logistics system. Thus, the investment resources for transport are very large and how to have investment resources for transport is a current challenge.

Almost all of these resources are mainly relying on public investment, while the budget resources are also at a certain level and have increased the scale of investment in recent times, but compared to the demand, they are still too low, especially the upcoming needs to develop railways and waterways in sync with highways.

Transport is the foundation for promoting development

The transport sector is a sector that needs to be promoted more strongly from the planning, planning, construction to the management, direction and implementation stages from the ministerial, sectoral to the local and sectoral levels. This is the sector that needs to be expanded because it is the foundation for promoting economic, commercial and social development.

In recent years, the National Assembly has increasingly paid attention to creating policy mechanisms and conditions to promote the development of transport infrastructure. Not to mention public investment programs according to planning stages, economic and social recovery and development programs after Covid-19... not only building transport infrastructure, but also transporting goods and trade in many forms: aviation, road, inland waterways, coastal roads, railways... with comprehensive policies. Through questioning, it is possible to assess whether the industry's leadership team can fulfill its tasks and the people's expectations.
