It's noteworthy that the resolution emphasizes the need to effectively implement COVID-19 prevention and control measures, and be well prepared to cope with emerging diseases.

The resolution also requests that the Government accelerate the progress of key transport infrastructure construction projects, including approved urban railway projects and highway and ring road projects, and at the same time remove obstacles to put into operations large power projects such as Thai Binh 2, Nghi Son 2, Duyen Hai 2 and Van Phong 1.
