According to Bao Long An, the construction of the Dong Nam Asia Industrial Park (phase 2) has been delayed due to the slow progress of the investor in carrying out compensation, land retrieval, and resettlement support.
In addition to the investor’s internal issues, the project was also held back by the Prime Minister’s pending approval for the conversion of rice cultivation land, which is essential for initiating land retrieval, compensation, and resettlement processes. This delay has had a significant impact on the lives of residents in the project area.
