Nha Trang (Khanh Hoa) - Dau Giay (Dong Nai) - My Thuan Bridge 2 (Tien Giang and
Vinh Long).
The project’s preliminary
118.7-trillion-VND (5.22 billion USD) investment will cover about 654km. Of the
total investment, 55 trillion VND will be sourced from the State budget and the
remaining from investors.
The NA entrusted the Government to
implement the project, which is due to be completed in 2021, according to the
country’s law.
It must ensure publicity,
transparency, efficiency, and equal competition among domestic and foreign
economic sectors, and prevent corruption, wastefulness and negative phenomena
in the process of implementation and management.
The same day, legislators talked
about the draft Law on State secret protection.
