PM Pham Minh Chinh meets employees at the Nghi Son oil refinery, November 11, 2023.

He inspected the Nghi Son oil refinery, Nghi Son port, and the Nghi Son steel mill.

The 9.3 billion USD Nghi Son refinery is a joint venture between Vietnam, Japan and Kuwait with a capacity of 10 million tonnes of crude oil per year. PM Chinh praised the largest joint venture of its kind in Vietnam, saying it has contributed to ensuring fuel supply for Vietnam. The refinery is now providing about 35% of the total petrol volume to the domestic market. 

The Nghi Son port system now comprises 21 wharves with a capacity of about 75 million tonnes per year.

The Nghi Son steel mill is invested by DTS Nghi Son Iron and Steel JSC with a capacity of producing 980,000 tonnes of rolling steel each year in its first phase.

During his visit to Hop Luc International General Hospital in Thanh Hoa the same day, PM Chinh affirmed that the Party and State always take the people as the centre, subject, resources and motivation of development, and give people's health top priority.

The socialisation of the health care sector has been strengthened, contributing to bettering health care services for the people, with the development of many private hospital models like Hop Luc International General Hospital, he noted.

He expressed his hope that the model of the hospital will be multiplied to meet the people's increasingly diverse demand in health care services.
