Five strategic solutions for HHV’s development from Resolution 68

Mr. Ho Minh Hoang - Chairman of the Board of Directors of HHV emphasized that Politburo Resolution 68 on private sector development serves as a guiding light and strategic framework for businesses, including HHV. It enables public-private cooperation in resolving legacy issues, identifying current priorities, and shaping future strategies. This resolution empowers enterprises to confidently move forward and contribute to national development.

“Fueled by pioneering spirit and a desire to serve in the national development era, I believe that HHV will maximize the “leverage” from Resolution 68, and continue to uphold our position as a leading national infrastructure brand. We place the country's interests above all, while balancing benefits among businesses, shareholders, and partners. Together, we will create new milestones for national infrastructure,” Mr. Ho Minh Hoang affirmed.

Mr. Ho Minh Hoang, Chairman of the Board of Directors of HHV, hosted the discussion session at the General Meeting.

In line with this vision, on May 19, 2025, DEOCA submitted Document 615/2025/DCG to the Prime Minister, proposing investment in the PPP-based expansion of over 1,100 km of the eastern North - South expressway route. This approach could save the state budget approximately 5.8 trillion USD.

To ensure Resolution 68 of the Politburo on private sector is embedded in the daily operations of businesses, Mr. Ho Minh Hoang outlined five strategic solutions for HHV:

Firstly,responsibility unlocks reality. Businesses must proactively coordinate with ministries, industries, and associations to improve legal frameworks, ensure synchronization to shorten administrative procedures, and share responsibility.

Secondly, knowledge creates value. Investing in human capital, deep technical training, and embracing digital tools like AI and BIM in corporate governance and construction to reduce costs and maximize profits.

Thirdly, the golden path to golden value. Strengthening connections within the private sector ecosystem by fostering partnerships with real estate, logistics, and commercial transport enterprises, transforming traffic flows into cash flows.

Fourthly, self-reliance – self-strengthening andnational pride. Fostering a corporate culture of “self-reliance - self-strengthening and national pride” act “with heart, with strength, with devotion”, aim at putting national interest first and balancing priorities between shareholders, workers, enterprises to motivate growth.

Fifthly, efficiency in effort. Learning from the government’s streamlined apparatus to optimize costs and improve operational efficiency. This approach helps define the scope of corporate functions, determine appropriate staffing levels, and affirm the belief that what the State can do, we can do.
