Nhan Dan Online – Prime Minister, Nguyen Tan Dung has asked relevant ministries and agencies to work together to remove barriers to two education and technology projects in Hoa Lac, to the west of Hanoi.
The PM said the Hoa Lac High-Tech Park and Hanoi National University were two important projects in Vietnam’s goal to become a modern and industrialised country by 2020, but noted that their construction progress was far behind schedule because inadequate resources were provided.
The high-tech park project in Hoa Lac, about 30 kilometres from the centre of Hanoi, was approved in 1998 with a planned area of 1,590 hectares, more than 90% of which needed to be cleared before construction can take place.
However the park is still far from complete as it is still mired in many problems, including lack of capital, slow progress of site clearance and resettlement for displaced residents.
The Hanoi National University project, which was given the green light in 2003 and is located near the high-tech park, faces similar problems.
Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam said during a meeting between the Government, relevant agencies and Hanoi authorities on August 13 that site clearance must be completed in one or two years to avoid cost overruns.
Currently, about 30% of the land area needs to be cleared and the work is estimated to cost more than VND7.9 trillion (US$371 million) for both the high-tech park and the university.
Prime Minister Dung stressed that the overall sizes of these two projects should not be reduced but adjustments can be made within each project.
He added that because the high-tech park and university complex were near each other, relevant agencies and competent authorities should consider building shared infrastructure such as transport and power, to avoid unnecessary waste of resources.
PM Dung further instructed that Deputy PM Dam should work with the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Planning and Investment in August to formulate a plan to allocate funding for land clearance and submit it to him soon for approval.
