It is known that the task of disbursing public investment capital has been focused on by Mong Cai City since the beginning of the year, with a reasonably allocated capital plan, overcoming the situation of scattered investment to ensure that no outstanding debts arise in basic construction. To ensure the progress of public investment in the area, Mong Cai has mobilized all resources to the maximum, focusing on measures to increase land use fees, prioritizing capital for investment in urgent projects, especially projects ensuring social security. In particular, improving the capacity to appraise investment projects, selecting contractors with sufficient capacity to implement the project; resolutely eliminating unqualified consulting units and incompetent contractors.
Mr. Truong Cong Thanh, Deputy Director of the Mong Cai City Construction Investment Project Management Board, said: In 2024, the unit was assigned to implement 34 projects, of which 27 projects were newly started. However, the biggest difficulty affecting the organization of construction of works and projects was identified as the lack of filling materials, affecting the construction progress and disbursement of capital, including the project connecting the Van Don - Mong Cai Expressway to Van Ninh Port (Van Gia) invested from the provincial budget. Up to now, this project has expired the contract implementation period according to the decision of the Provincial People's Committee, but there is still a lack of K98 filling soil to implement construction.
Some resettlement infrastructure and traffic projects funded by the city budget are slow to complete and have not met the approved progress due to problems with the source of filling materials, so there is no volume of acceptance to prepare payment records to serve the disbursement work. For works and projects that do not face difficulties in the source of filling materials, the City Construction Investment Project Management Board is actively urging contractors to take advantage of favorable weather conditions, actively mobilize equipment, technical machinery, workers, and arrange many construction teams to work continuously day and night, in order to speed up the completion of project items and works.
Although by December 10, Mong Cai had only disbursed 54.6% of the public investment disbursement plan, with many effective solutions, the city is determined to complete the highest level of public investment disbursement plan.
Mr. Ho Quang Huy, Chairman of Mong Cai City People's Committee, said: In response to the requirements for the task of disbursing public investment capital, the City People's Committee is focusing on directing and urging specialized departments and offices to continue to improve their responsibility in investment management.

The City has directed construction units to concentrate highly on human resources, means, and materials, take advantage of favorable weather conditions and overcome difficult weather conditions to speed up construction progress according to the allocated capital plan, ensuring construction progress according to plan, in which the determination to complete 100% of the city budget capital.
