Hanoi (VNA) – The Government has issued Resolution No. 46/NQ-CP on the appraisal of the revised investment policy for the Ninh Thuan 1 nuclear power project.

The ministry is tasked with urgently proposing the establishment of the appraisal council for the project's adjusted investment policy in accordance with regulations. The council will conduct the appraisal and submit the results to the Government for consideration, while completing documents for submission to the National Assembly at its first session of the 16th tenure in April 2026.

Earlier, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 70-NQ/TW on ensuring national energy security to 2030 with a vision to 2045, which emphasises that energy development must stay one step ahead to meet the country’s socio-economic, defence and security needs while improving living standards.

The resolution also calls for the accelerated implementation of the Ninh Thuan 1 and Ninh Thuan 2 nuclear power projects with appropriate partners to ensure Vietnam’s highest interests, taking into account previous agreements, with the plants expected to come into operation during the 2030–2035 period./.
