Speaking at a meeting in Hanoi on August 20 to review the implementation of Project 47 on fundamental investigation and management of marine environment and resources through until 2020, the Deputy PM said while key goals have been met, several component projects are still behind schedule and implementing agencies lack coordination.
The building, verification and approval of component projects has cost too much time and budget allocation failed to meet the work’s requirements. In addition, the purchase of investigation equipment has been slow, hindering the pace of the project.
Deputy PM Hai requested relevant ministries, agencies, and localities take more drastic actions to speed up the implementation of the project.
He urged the Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment to work with the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Planning and Investment to ensure capital for urgent and necessary tasks in the middle and long run.
