Under a decision issued by the prime minister in May, 21 projects worth a total of over 137 trillion VND (5.2 billion USD) will be implemented in Phu Quoc for the APEC Summit.

To date, An Giang Province has completed the call for investment in 12 projects and selected investors for three key projects worth 91.5 trillion VND (3.5 billion USD).

The three key projects are the expansion of Phu Quoc International Airport, the APEC Convention Centre and Dat Do Urban Zone, and the Nui Ong Quan Ecotourism and Urban Zone.

Specifically, Phu Quoc International Airport will receive nearly 22 trillion VND (841.3 million USD) for an upgrade into one of the world’s most modern and intelligent airports.

The APEC Convention Centre and Dat Do Urban Zone will receive a total investment of 64 trillion VND (2.4 billion USD), while the Nui Ong Quan project will cost 5.55 trillion VND (212.2 million USD).

In addition to the three above-mentioned projects, Phu Quoc is also preparing for the construction of a series of other projects, including reservoirs, underground technical infrastructure, a waste-to-energy plant and waste treatment facilities.

Currently the Phu Quoc authorities are accelerating site clearance and resettlement for affected residents to have clear land for the construction of projects.

An Giang Province is investing in four resettlement zones, in An Thoi, Ham Ninh, Cua Can and Suoi Lon, with total capital of 5.78 trillion VND (221 million USD).

An Giang Chairman Ho Van Mung asked the Department of Construction to review and complete the zone planning on Phu Quoc Island in July to ensure the legal basis for the commencement of project construction in August.
