Viewpoints: a/ Land-road communications and transport constitutes an important component of the socio-economic infrastructure in general and the communications infrastructure in particular. This sector should be invested and developed one step in advance with a view to creating the prerequisite and motive force for socio-economic development, serving the cause of industrialization and modernization, meeting the requirements of the regional and international integration process, and contributing to consolidating national security and defense. b/ Importance should be attached to the maintenance, consolidation and upgrading work so as to make the fullest use of the capacity of the existing communications infrastructure, at the same time to the investment in building new projects which are actually needed; special attention shall be paid to upgrading the communications infrastructure in key economic zones, urban centers, trunk roads in service of foreign relations, raising the capacity of the North-South route to ensure smooth land-road communications along the entire route . c/ To develop land-road communications and transport in a rational and synchronous manner under a uniform planning with assignment, decentralization as well as cooperation and association among transport modes, suitable to the geographical conditions, so as to create a smooth and effective communications network all over the country. d/ To bring into the fullest play the country�s geographical advantages, to develop the land-road communications system in service of external economy, regional and international integration. e/ To prioritize the investment in developing the communications infrastructure, mass transit means and organizing traffic in big cities, especially Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City. f/ To develop rural communications, especially in mountainous, deep-lying and remote areas, former revolutionary bases, and border areas; to render active support to the Program on hunger eradication and poverty reduction as well as socio-economic development in these areas. g/ To step up the application of scientific and technical advances, new materials and technologies in the domains of designing, construction and exploitation of land-road communications and transport. To attach importance to developing resources to meet the sector�s development demands. h/ To promote internal strengths, take various measures in order to create domestic investment capital sources suitable to the practical conditions. At the same time, to make the maximum use of foreign investment capital sources in the forms of official development assistance (ODA), foreign direct investment (FDI) and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) contracts� Organizations and individuals that use directly or indirectly the land-road communications infrastructure shall have to pay charges and fees to indemnify the capital invested in construction and maintenance of the works. i/ To protect land-road communications works is the responsibility of the local administration at all levels, all branches and every citizen. 2. Objectives of the development planning: For the period from now till 2010. a/ Land-road transport. - To meet the social demands for cargo and passenger transport with high quality, reasonable prices, safety and convenience. - Assignment of transport tasks: To promote the advantages of land-road transport, including high mobility and high efficiency within short distances, gathering of cargoes for other transport modes, and transport along routes where other transport modes, such as railways and riverway, are impossible. - Organization and management of land-road transport: To create a healthy competitive environment in land-road transport so as to raise the capacity and improve the quality of services with reasonable charges. To apply mechanisms and policies to encourage the development of urban mass transit, transport in mountainous, deep-lying and remote areas, thus meeting the transport demands in areas with difficult conditions. b/ Land-road communications and transport infrastructure. To continue consolidating, restoring and upgrading the existing land-road communications works; to make intensive investment in a number of important works so as to increase the traffic flow, complete the land road network, at the same time to build a number of new works of urgent demand. To design and build new construction works according to Vietnamese standards, taking into consideration regional and international integration requirements. Specific objectives: - To enhance the capability for the maintenance work, to intensify research and application of scientific and technical advances in the management and maintenance of land-road communications infrastructure. - To complete the restoration and upgrading of the existing land road system, especially projects being implemented or committed to be implemented with the ODA capital source so as to step by step put the land road system into the correct uniform technical grades nationwide. - By 2005, almost all national highways (by 2010 particularly for the system of provincial roads) must be surfaced with asphalt or concrete; to complete the building of big bridges on arterial routes, widen national highways with great transport demands. - To study and deploy the construction of a system of expressways, first of all in developed economic regions, key economic areas, and important communications axes with huge traffic flows. For the 2011-2020 period: To continue completing and gradually modernizing the land-road communications infrastructure network. 3. The land-road communications infrastructure development planning: a/ National highway system: - The North-South axis: - The North-South axis is composed of two lines: National highway 1A and the Ho Chi Minh road as the two most important land roads within our country�s land-road system.
