Ensuring Residents Are Not Disadvantaged When Building APEC Facilities in Phu Quoc Special Zone

Dantri | Local Language | News | July 9, 2025 | UndeterminedPolitical Policy Resistance

On July 7th, An Giang Province People's Committee Chairman Ho Van Mung led a delegation to survey construction progress on projects supporting APEC 2027 in the Phu Quoc Special Zone. Key projects underway include the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, an APEC Conference Center, and an Ecotourism Mixed Urban Area at Ong Quan Mountain, all led by Sun Group Southern Region. These projects are progressing rapidly, with significant milestones reached in airport terminal construction, infrastructure development, and site preparations for the conference center and urban area.

The airport expansion has secured 166 hectares of land, with 14 households voluntarily handing over land, reflecting resident support. Construction at the airport includes 10% pile driving at Terminal 2, 30% at the VIP terminal, and substantial progress in leveling and infrastructure. At the APEC Conference Center, nearly all retaining wall construction is complete, and various piling works and tower crane installations are advancing steadily. The Ecotourism Mixed Urban Area project is at the stage of community engagement for land survey and information collection to ensure local rights are protected and project progress is sustained.

Chairman Ho Van Mung praised the efforts of all stakeholders and stressed the urgency of completing these projects, while insisting on strict compliance with legal regulations. He highlighted the need to finalize construction permits by July 20 and mobilize maximum resources, particularly for the airport as a critical APEC infrastructure. The Phu Quoc Special Zone People's Committee was directed to expedite land clearance with transparency, fair compensation, and strict adherence to the law, ensuring that residents are not disadvantaged during the implementation process.
