Ninh Thuan (VNA) – Party General Secretary To Lam visited several economic, cultural and social establishments in the south-central province of Ninh Thuan on December 5.

Specifically, he inspected the planned site for the construction of the Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Plant in Vinh Truong hamlet, Phuoc Dinh commune, Thuan Nam district.

The investment policy of the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Project was approved by the National Assembly at Resolution 41/2009/QH12, dated November 25, 2009. Accordingly, the resolution outlined the planning of the Ninh Thuan 1 Nuclear Power Plant in Phuoc Dinh commune, Thuan Nam district, and the Ninh Thuan 2 Nuclear Power Plant in Vinh Hai commune, Ninh Hai district, with a combined area of 1,642 hectares. The construction was estimated to impact 1,100 households with nearly 4,000 people.

Following a decision to resume the Ninh Thuan Nuclear Power Plant project, the province has actively popularised the policy to the public. As a result, local residents have largely expressed strong support and agreement with the State’s policy.

The Ninh Thuan 1 project is planned to consist of four turbines, each with a capacity of 1,000–1,200 MW. It will be implemented in two phases, with two turbines installed in each phase. The total land area required for the project is 443.11 hectares.

Lam directed the Provincial People’s Committee to promptly carry out the necessary procedures for the project, including land clearance, and reporting to the Government for consideration and approval of funding allocation to ensure progress and efficiency. He added that once sufficient resources are secured, immediate implementation is essential to maximise the project's effectiveness.

The Party Chief then attended the groundbreaking ceremony for the construction of a multipurpose training facility and auxiliary structures at Phuoc Dinh Kindergarten in Phuoc Dinh commune – an extremely disadvantageous commune. The project costs 12 billion VND (472,600 USD) presented by the General Secretary.

The Party leader also conducted an on-site inspection of the Ca Na General Port, in Thuan Nam district, and visited Bau Truc pottery village in Phuoc Dan town, - one of the oldest traditional craft villages in Southeast Asia, home to the Cham people's ancient art of pottery making. In 2022, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) inscribed the art onto the List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding.

On this occasion, the Party chief presented gifts to 20 policy beneficiaries and poor households in Ninh Phuoc the district./.
