Power industry honors martyrs
In addition to ensuring stable and safe power supply, EVN’s units have always demonstrated social responsibility. Each unit helps families in need, especially those of war invalids and martyrs living in the areas where they operate.

National master planning needs changes in development thinking for breakthrough
Until now, only seven out of 111 planning documents have been approved, including those on national land use and only 4 national industry planning pieces in the transportation field. It is obviously illogical since land is a valuable national resource and should be allocated to best promote the national competitiveness as well as the regional geographic advantages after identifying specific regional industry planning. He took the planning of Lien Chieu Port in Da Nang City as an illustration. It is too hard to transform this port into an international-scaled one no matter how much the local authorities wish for it to come true.

Considering the regional competitive advantage, it would be much better to invest in turning the latter port into an international one and building a railway to connect it to neighboring areas.
