On January 16th, the 9th Specialized Session of the 10th Dong Nai Provincial People’s Council (PPC) passed four pivotal resolutions. These resolutions are set to significantly shape the province’s infrastructure development, investment attraction, and socio-economic growth.
The PPC approved resolutions designating Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee as the authorized body to execute the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh Railway Project under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Additionally, the Ring Road 4 – HCMC project was added to Dong Nai’s 2026 public investment plan. The council also approved the conversion of forest land for the Minh Hung – Sikico Expanded Industrial Zone’s rainwater and wastewater drainage system project. A resolution detailing land reclamation projects for 2026 was passed to facilitate socio-economic development initiatives.

Addressing the session, Ton Ngoc Hanh, Standing Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the PPC, emphasized that these resolutions provide a critical legal framework. They empower the Provincial People’s Committee and relevant agencies to implement projects, overcome investment barriers, and drive double-digit growth. This will boost budget revenues, foster economic development, and improve residents’ quality of life.
The PPC urged the Provincial People’s Committee to swiftly develop and execute implementation plans for these resolutions with proactive determination and legal compliance. Enhanced communication and public engagement are essential to ensure widespread support.
According to the Provincial People’s Committee’s proposal, the Thu Thiem – Long Thanh railway will span approximately 42 km with 20 stations and a depot in Xuan Duong Commune (Dong Nai). It will connect HCMC’s An Khanh, Binh Trung, and Long Truong wards with Dong Nai’s Nhon Trach, Long Thanh, and Xuan Duong communes.
The route begins at Thu Thiem Station (HCMC) and ends at Long Thanh Station, directly linking to Long Thanh International Airport. The estimated investment is VND 84.753 trillion, including VND 5.504 trillion for compensation and resettlement. Construction is slated for 2025-2031.
The PPP model is chosen to leverage private investment, alleviating pressure on the state budget.
