On the morning of December 28th, Thanh Hoa Province welcomed a delegation led by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh, Head of Steering Committee 751, to address stalled projects. The meeting was attended by leaders from various central ministries and agencies, who reviewed reports and discussed solutions for specific cases.
According to the Thanh Hoa Provincial People’s Committee, a review revealed 423 troubled projects province-wide. Of these, 112 public investment projects face challenges related to land clearance compensation, legal procedures, investor capacity, and other issues. The remaining 311 private-sector projects, primarily in industry, commerce, housing, and education, involve land use.
The province has established a provincial-level Steering Committee and issued an action plan, requiring monthly progress reports from departments. Eight public investment projects have been resolved, while 104 others, mainly in transportation, residential infrastructure, irrigation, education, environment, and civil works, are progressing as planned.
For private projects, 63 have had their issues resolved, leaving 248 under review, including major initiatives in industry, commerce, services, and housing.

The province identified several issues beyond local authority, requiring central ministry input. Twenty-two projects, mostly critical to the 2026-2030 development strategy, have been flagged for consultation.
During the meeting, the Deputy Prime Minister emphasized that project unblocking is a key national policy. He noted that stalled projects nationwide tie up trillions of dollars in capital, which, if released, could significantly boost growth, reduce waste, and create jobs.
In Thanh Hoa, affected projects exceed $1 billion in value and cover nearly 4,000 hectares. The Deputy Prime Minister directed the province to update all project data on System 751, categorizing issues as per Ministry of Finance guidelines for coordinated resolution.
He stressed that unblocking must comply with laws, remain transparent, and ensure accountability. Violators must face consequences, with no tolerance for corruption or favoritism. Support is reserved for capable, committed businesses with proven implementation capacity.
For projects under investigation, he instructed continued scrutiny, allowing operation if it does not hinder legal proceedings or create new violations.
Thanh Hoa urged the Government to expedite guidelines for Resolution 170/2024, which addresses legal land and project hurdles nationwide, to ensure consistent implementation.
Concluding the session, the delegation agreed on a phased resolution approach: locally authorized projects will be handled by the province, while those requiring central intervention will involve ministry collaboration.
