Among them, there are projects that have been identified as having violations, projects that have signs of violations, and many projects that are stuck in processes and procedures. The backlog of projects is under the jurisdiction of the Central Government, but mainly under the jurisdiction of the locality.

The Government also established a Steering Committee to resolve difficulties and obstacles in backlogged projects.

Concluding the meeting, affirming the correctness and consistency with the situation of Conclusion No. 77-KL/TW of the Politburo, Resolution 170/2024/QH15 of the National Assembly, as well as Decrees 76/2025/ND-CP and 91/2025/ND-CP of the Government, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh highly appreciated the ministries, branches and localities that have taken drastic measures to remove difficulties and obstacles for the projects, with some localities having completed 50-70% of the projects.

However, the implementation progress, especially the synthesis and reporting of the situation, has not met the requirements, especially the reports are not complete and do not closely follow the scope of implementation according to the Conclusion of the Politburo.

Therefore, the Prime Minister requested ministries and branches, especially the five localities of Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, Khanh Hoa and Tay Ninh to review the backlog and prolonged projects that have been concluded with inspections, examinations and judgments within the scope of Conclusion 77-KL/TW of the Politburo, to be completed before October 15, 2025; in which, a summary report must clearly state which projects have been handled, which projects are being handled, and which projects are still stuck.
