(Baonghean.vn) - This decision was made by the Vinh city’s People's Council at its 11th session of the 22nd term, from 2021 to 2026, held at the end of December 2023.
Specifically, during this session, the People's Council of Vinh city issued a resolution on the Public Investment Plan for 2024 with a total capital of over 3.347 trillion Vietnamese dong from the city's budget.
