Prioritize resources to complete the East North – South highway, East – West highways, and multimodal transportation routes according to the plan

After 10 years of implementation, Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW of the Party Central Committee’s 11th tenure on building synchronized infrastructure with the aim of making our country basically become a modern industrial country by 2020 (Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW) has achieved many important results. The awareness of Party committees at all levels, party organizations, government, businesses, and society about the role and special importance of infrastructure in socioeconomic development, industrialization, and modernization of the country has seen positive changes. The legal system has been focused on improvement and access to international practices, especially policies on planning, investment, public investment, public-private partnership… Based on that, resources have been strengthened and a favorable environment has been created to rapidly develop the infrastructure system, shaping a new development landscape for the country. Many programs, projects, and works have been put into operation and effectively utilized, especially in transportation, energy, irrigation, urban areas, information and communication; emphasis has been placed on developing educational and training infrastructure, science and technology, healthcare, culture, and sports, promoting economic growth, ensuring social welfare and security, and contributing to the goal of industrializing and modernizing the country.
However, the implementation of the basic goal of Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW has not met the set requirements, has not made a breakthrough in resource mobilization, and has not formed a modern and coherent infrastructure system that ensures fast and sustainable development. Some mechanisms and policies are slow to be issued and lack uniformity; state management, decentralization, and devolution still have limitations. The development of multi-target economic and social infrastructure combined with national defense, security, and climate change adaptation has not been given enough attention; economic and technical infrastructure is not synchronized and lacks connectivity within regions, inter-regions, and among infrastructure sectors; investment in new construction, upgrade, maintenance, and repair of infrastructure projects still faces difficulties and shortcomings. Social, cultural, and sports infrastructure, especially in rural, mountainous, remote, border, and island areas, has not been invested adequately; traffic congestion, flooding, and environmental pollution have been prolonged for many years, affecting people’s lives in some major cities.
The main causes of these limitations are mainly due to the limited awareness, capacity, and thinking of party committees, party organizations, government, and leaders at all levels; some policies and laws are not synchronized, not in line with reality and development trends; coordination among levels and sectors is not close and effective; national resources are limited and fail to attract effective non-state resources; planning and planning management work lacks long-term vision, comprehensiveness, and consistency; investment management, inspection, examination, and supervision work is not effective.
To continue to implement Resolution No. 13-NQ/TW effectively associated with Resolution of the 13th Party Congress, Resolution No. 29-NQ/TW of the 6th plenum of the 13th Central Committee on continuing to promote industrialization and modernization of the country by 2030, with a vision to 2045, and Conclusion No. 45-KL/TW of the 6th plenum of the 13th Central Committee on orienting the national master plan for 2021 – 2030, with a vision to 2050 and meet the development requirements of the new period, the Politburo requires party committees, party organizations, government, officials, and party members to focus on effectively implementing the following tasks and solutions:
