Vietnam: Prime minister Nguyen Tan Dung has approved a proposal from the Ministry of Construction to expand the production capacity of Xuan Thanh cement plant in the northern province of Ha Nam to 4.5Mt/yr from the current 2.3Mt/yr.
The prime minister asked the ministry to review the planning of the cement industry, to remove low capacity cement projects from planning and to report to the government in June 2014. The government leader earlier added Xuan Thanh cement plant to the list of projects slated for operation before 2015.
