The implementation of the large-scale project according to the committed schedule has contributed to affirming the Vietnamese Party's policies and the State's policies and laws on attracting foreign direct investment (FDI), thus contributing to creating motivation for the development for Ba Ria - Vung Tau province, as well as a strong spill-over in many fields, and realising the oil and gas sector’s development strategy to 2025, with a vision to 2035.

The top legislator expressed his belief that with their reputation and experience, the SCG and the LSP will apply scientific advances and modern technologies in its operation, abide by Vietnamese laws on environmental protection and sustainable development, uphold social responsibilities ad pay attention to social security.

He also asked ministries and the province to create favourable conditions for the companies to officially inaugurate the complex in March.

The project has created around 18,000 jobs during the construction process and is expected to generate more than 1,000 jobs after it is put into commercial operation. The complex was put into trial operation on December 25, 2023 and is expected to be put into commercial operation in the first quarter of 2024./.
