Key Takeaways:
- Vietnam’s Quang Trung campaign has completed phase one, with 100% of repairs finished and all new builds under way.
- Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh called for an all-out push to finish the campaign by 15 January 2026, urging provinces and security forces to mobilise.
- National ministries, the military, police, Fatherland Front and private sector partners are coordinating relief, reconstruction and agricultural support.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh chaired a government meeting this morning to review the rapid “Quang Trung” campaign to rebuild and repair homes damaged by recent storms and floods in central Vietnam. The conference was held at the Government Office and connected online with provincial authorities in Quang Tri, Thua Thien-Hue, Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Gia Lai, Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa and Lam Dong.
Quang Trung campaign progress and targets
The Prime Minister said the Quang Trung campaign is a fight without gunfire that must nevertheless be won decisively. After only a month since its launch, authorities have completed the first phase. Repairs to existing homes are reported as 100 per cent complete, and construction of homes that needed to be rebuilt has started for all required units, with 42 per cent already finished.
While earlier timetables set a target to finalise major works before 25 January 2026, Mr Pham urged a faster timetable. He instructed provincial leaders, particularly in Dak Lak and Gia Lai, to mobilise the full resources of the state, the Vietnam Fatherland Front, social and political organisations, businesses and local communities in order to complete the entire campaign by 15 January 2026. He framed the drive as an opportunity to present tangible achievements ahead of the national party congress.
National mobilisation and co-ordination
The Prime Minister commended the Ministry of Defence, Ministry of Public Security, the Fatherland Front and other ministries, agencies and local governments for their swift action. He singled out the contribution of the armed forces, police, militia, youth unions and volunteer groups for playing a leading role in delivering manpower and logistics to remote and badly affected areas.
Officials reported no major obstacles in implementation so far. With that in mind, Mr Pham urged a “thừa thắng xông lên” approach, encouraging authorities to press ahead with reconstruction without delay. He emphasised the importance of close co-ordination between central ministries and local authorities to resolve any remaining bottlenecks quickly.
Beyond houses: restoring livelihoods
Alongside building work, the Prime Minister asked local governments to continue reviewing household needs and to provide targeted support where necessary. This includes supplying basic household items, agricultural inputs such as seed and feed, and materials to help people restock livestock and restore crop and aquaculture production. The aim is to couple shelter recovery with a broader revival of livelihoods so families can return to normal economic activity as soon as possible.
Central ministries and local authorities are expected to monitor progress closely and report results regularly. The coordinated effort brings together public institutions and private partners to finance and deliver reconstruction work, while community organisations provide outreach to ensure vulnerable households receive priority assistance.
As the Quang Trung campaign moves into its next phase, the government’s message was clear: continue the momentum, scale up support for affected households, and secure completion by mid-January 2026. Officials say the campaign will remain focused on speed, quality and fairness so that reconstruction not only restores shelter but helps families regain stable incomes and rebuild their communities.
