On February 15, the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province worked with the Vietnam National Coal and Mineral Industries Group (TKV) and Dong Bac Corporation to resolve recommendations related to the implementation of investment projects in Quang Ninh province.
According to the report of the Department of Industry and Trade of Quang Ninh province, the total number of recommendations of TKV and Dong Bac Corporation from the beginning of 2024 to this point is 86. Of which, TKV had 63 recommendations, Dong Bac Corporation had 23 recommendations.
There are currently 29 recommendations that are being resolved (TKV is 26 recommendations and Dong Bac Corporation is 3 recommendations). Most of the recommendations are related to problems in project implementation procedures, expansion and upgrading of mines and problems with land and site clearance.
At the meeting, Mr. Vu Van Dien - Permanent Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province, Mr. Nghiem Xuan Cuong - Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province and related departments, branches and localities reviewed all 86 recommendations according to each group of issues of member units under TKV and Dong Bac Corporation.
Thereby, unifying measures to remove and overcome obstacles related to the management and licensing of coal exploration and exploitation projects; coal transportation management; land management; environmental protection; expansion of coal warehouses; construction of dumping sites; construction of collective houses for workers... At the same time, the leaders of Quang Ninh province also frankly criticized the units, departments, branches and localities that have not yet fulfilled their responsibilities in coordination and settlement, leading to many prolonged petitions that have not been completely handled.
According to Mr. Vu Van Dien, to contribute to the overall growth results of the country, Quang Ninh province has recently built the highest economic growth scenario in 2025 ever, with the growth rate striving to reach 14%, 2% higher than the level assigned by the Prime Minister and the target previously approved in Resolution 31 of the Provincial Party Committee and Resolution 237 of the Provincial People's Council.
To achieve this goal, the coal industry needs to produce about 41.3 million tons of coal in 2025 to contribute to the growth of the province. Removing obstacles to increase the capacity of mines and starting new projects plays a very important role for the Coal industry to boost production and business. Therefore, the province will accompany the Coal industry to focus on completely removing all bottlenecks and obstacles that have existed for many years.
The Standing Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Quang Ninh province requested TKV and the Northeast Corporation to urgently review all land areas in use, land areas that have been planned for the unit to proactively coordinate with relevant departments, branches, and People's Committees of localities to complete procedures on land, site clearance, etc. under their authority before February 20, 2025. Departments, branches, and heads of localities must be really proactive and actively participate with the Coal industry to review and remove obstacles so that coal units can operate stably and develop. For problems beyond their authority, departments, branches and localities must quickly report to the Provincial People's Committee for timely solutions.
The Provincial People's Committee will also establish a Working Group to coordinate with the Coal industry to remove difficulties under the authority of the Central Government, and long-term recommendations related to many sectors and localities. Every week, the Provincial People's Committee will meet to assess the progress of resolving problems and recommendations of the Coal industry in the spirit of "clear work, clear responsibilities, clear progress, clear people".
