On the morning of June 26, 2026, at the Dai An Expanded Industrial Park (IP) in Hai Phong City, the Ground-breaking Ceremony for the Service Functional Area project, focusing on accommodation for workers and experts, was solemnly held. This event is of great significance, aiming not only to complete technical infrastructure but also to affirm the city's commitment to worker welfare and the sustainable development of industrial zones.
A Large-scale and Solemn Event
The ceremony was attended by approximately 200 delegates. Participants included leaders from central agencies such as the Ministry of Construction, the Government Office, and the Vietnam General Confederation of Labor. Local representation included the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee, the People's Council, the People's Committee of Hai Phong, and leaders of various departments and sectors.
The program featured traditional opening rituals, including celebratory drums and a lion dance. A highlight of the event was a video reportage detailing the project and the city's social and rental housing development plan for the 2021-2030 period. Following speeches from the investor—Dai An Industrial Park Infrastructure Development One Member LLC—and city leaders, the official ground-breaking ritual was performed, marking a new milestone for the region's growth.
Strategic Significance: Realizing National Goals
The Service Functional Area at Dai An Expanded IP is more than just a construction project; it is the realization of key national policies.
- Responding to Central Directives: The project implements the conclusions of the General Secretary and President regarding social housing and future housing orientations. It also contributes to the Prime Minister's target of building at least one million social housing units for workers by 2030.
- Ensuring Social Security and Human Resource Stability: A core objective is to provide stable housing for workers directly engaged in production within industrial and economic zones. Stable "settlement" allows workers to "thrive," helping businesses maintain a high-quality and stable workforce, including foreign experts and skilled laborers.
- Enhancing Competitiveness: By investing in social infrastructure alongside production infrastructure, the city is building a modern and civilized industrial park model. This safe and convenient living and working environment increases Hai Phong’s attractiveness to international investors and boosts its competitiveness in attracting large FDI projects.
Expectations for a Modern Industrial Ecosystem
Hai Phong expects this project to become a model for harmonizing economic development with social welfare. Through this ground-breaking, the city reaffirms its policy of supporting businesses and placing workers at the center of development.
The project is expected to create a civilized living environment with full service amenities for workers, replacing spontaneous lodging areas that often lack security and hygiene. This will not only improve the health and spirit of the workforce but also contribute to maintaining local social order and safety.
Close Organization and Coordination
To ensure the success of the ceremony, the City People's Committee directed departments and sectors to coordinate closely. The Hai Phong Economic Zone Authority (HEZA) served as the focal point, responsible for advising and supervising the entire project implementation and event organization. Units such as the City Police and the City Military Command ensured absolute security and traffic safety. Meanwhile, the Departments of Construction, Health, and the Hai Phong Power Company were mobilized to provide the best technical and logistical conditions for the ceremony.
The ground-breaking of the Service Functional Area at Dai An Expanded IP confirms Hai Phong's long-term vision: industrial development must go hand-in-hand with sustainability and humanity. This serves as the foundation for the city to continue its breakthrough as a modern and livable industrial hub for the entire country.
