Kien Giang (VNA) – Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung on April 21 worked with leaders of the Mekong Delta province of Kien Giang, which will host the 2027 Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Week, to review the progress and some policies required for infrastructure development in preparation for this international event.

At the meeting in Phu Quoc city, local authorities reported that preparations are well underway, proposing several policy and mechanism-related adjustments to accelerate the implementation of key projects.

Deputy PM Dung underlined that the 2027 APEC Economic Leaders' Week is a particularly important political and diplomatic event. He described the occasion as both a great honour and a golden opportunity for Phu Quoc to make a breakthrough in development, helping elevate Kien Giang’s profile and contributing to Vietnam’s international standing.

He asked Phu Quoc to maximise its potential and advantages, seize every opportunity, make use of central agencies' support and local efforts, and encourage businesses' participation to create momentum for fast and sustainable development.

The official requested Kien Giang province to clearly define its development goals and timeline, prioritise infrastructure improvements, and identify key projects that must be completed ahead of APEC 2027. These include upgrades to Phu Quoc International Airport, construction of the APEC Conference Centre, road links to Duong Dong, and improvements to water supply and waste treatment systems.

Such efforts must also be aligned with the long-term socio-economic development strategies for both Phu Quoc city and Kien Giang province, he stated.

The Deputy PM urged ministries and central agencies to closely coordinate with Kien Giang to help resolve bottlenecks and ensure smooth project implementation.

Before the meeting, Deputy PM Dung and other officials inspected several key projects, including Phu Quoc International Airport, the Duong Dong 2 reservoir, Provincial Road DT.975, the An Thoi resettlement area, the APEC Boulevard project, and the future APEC Conference Centre in An Thoi ward of Phu Quoc city./.
