The committee studies major issues involving multiple agencies that arise as key projects advance and proposes approaches and solutions to the prime minister. It also coordinates and urges relevant ministries, agencies and local authorities to carry out construction investment tasks in line with resolutions of the National Assembly and the government, as well as the prime minister’s decisions and directives. Its coordination remit also covers cross-agency issues in implementing major national projects and key projects in the industry, trade and construction sectors.
The Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Industry and Trade serve as the committee’s standing agencies, helping its chair develop work plans, prepare meeting materials and reports, and compile reports on the committee’s activities. The committee will dissolve itself when it completes its duties or at the prime minister’s direction.
