Commending and appreciating the efforts and sense of responsibility of Hanoi city, Deputy Prime Minister Mai Van Chinh suggested that the construction of the project must ensure quality, progress, technique, aesthetics, environmental sanitation, landscape, labor safety; ensure investment efficiency and harmonize the interests of the state, people, businesses, etc.
