On the morning of the 5th of October, Mr. Le Van Dung, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Nam province, hosted a meeting with relevant departments and local authorities regarding the Integrated Adaptive Development Project of Quang Nam province.

Additionally, several businesses are exploring investment opportunities in the Dam River urban area project (in Tam Ky city) and the Chu Lai Airport upgrade project (in Nui Thanh district).
These projects hold significant value for the province, and their successful implementation would offer Quang Nam a great opportunity for development. The entire region of Thang Binh, Duy Xuyen, and Tam Ky would benefit from improved flood control, and enhanced connectivity across the Truong Giang River.
“The main purpose of this meeting is to discuss how to focus on land clearance. We must plan for it from the very beginning if we want to make these projects a reality. Learning from the experiences of ODA-funded projects, where implementation was hindered due to issues with land clearance and subsequent capital retrieval, we should prioritize land clearance to facilitate smoother progress.”
According to a report by the Management Board for Traffic Work Construction Investment of Quang Nam province (the investor), the Integrated Adaptive Development Project of Quang Nam will be carried out in Tam Ky city and Duy Xuyen, Thang Binh, and Nui Thanh districts.
The project has a total investment of over VND 2,722 billion, including approximately VND 1,838 billion in ODA loans from the World Bank and about VND 884.196 billion in counterpart funds.

The project is expected to impact around 1,068 households due to land acquisition. Of these, 796 households will be affected by a loss of more than 20% of their total cultivated land area, and approximately 159 principal houses will be permanently affected, resulting in the relocation of 272 households. Among them, 126 households will need to rebuild their houses on the remaining land, while 146 households will be relocated to resettlement areas.
The investor plans to complete all necessary procedures and preparations, with the first construction expected to commence in September 2025.

Mr. Tran Nam Hung, Vice Chairman of the People’s Committee of Quang Nam province, emphasized the importance of compensation and land clearance for the successful and timely implementation of the project, given that it is funded by ODA loans. He stressed that this project is a “priority among priorities,” and local authorities must treat it as a critical task, mobilizing the entire political system for decisive leadership.
Concluding the meeting, Mr. Le Van Dung commended the Management Board for Traffic Work Construction Investment of Quang Nam province and the local authorities for their proactive efforts in initiating the project, especially in managing the current situation.
However, he noted that this is just the beginning, and much work lies ahead, requiring strong political commitment. Mr. Dung instructed the departments, sectors, and localities to take decisive action and focus on compensation and land clearance to ensure the project’s commencement in October 2025, coinciding with the 23rd Congress of the Quang Nam Provincial Party Committee.
The Chairman also emphasized the need to minimize the impact on the livelihoods of the people during the implementation process. He cautioned against causing difficulties for the people due to relocation and land clearance. Additionally, he suggested promoting communication and mobilizing the people’s consensus for the project and focusing on managing the current situation to prevent illegal construction or expansion in anticipation of compensation…
Regarding the construction of the bridges, Mr. Le Van Dung instructed that both technical and aesthetic aspects must be ensured. The structures should be beautiful and align with urban and tourism development…
