He also directed the province to continue to respond to requests of the affected people in the spirit of harmonizing benefits.
The PM lauded the residents in the resettlement area for their support to the project, saying it contributes to the preservation of the UNESCO-recognized World Cultural Heritage.
Visiting the Hue Royal Antiquities Museum at Long An Palace in the Hue Monument Complex, the Government leader asked Thua Thien-Hue and the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism to work together to design a plan to construct the museum in a new place to avoid its impacts on the relic site.
He also presented gifts to the officials and staff of the museum.
Inspecting the project to build a bridge crossing Thuan An estuary, which was launched in March 2022 at a cost of VND 2.4 trillion and is scheduled to complete in 2025, PM Chinh said that the project is expected to fuel the maritime economic growth of the province, contributing to turning Thua Thien-Hue into a centrally-run city in the future.

Earlier on March 24, PM Chinh examined the Terminal T2 project of Phu Bai International Airport in Hue city.
The terminal is designed to have three stories, covering 10,118 sq.m to welcome 5 million passengers per year. Having a total investment of VND 2.25 trillion, it was scheduled to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2021. However, due to COVID-19 impacts, to date, the project has just finished 95 percent of its workload.
PM Chinh asked contractors to speed up the project, striving for its inauguration in April this year.
On this occasion, PM Chinh also offered incense to General Nguyen Chi Thanh at a museum in Hue city showcasing documents, photos and objects on the life and revolutionary activities of the military official during the nation's struggles against French colonialists and US imperialists.- (VNA/VLLF)
