On December 19, construction officially began on Vietnam's first urban light rail transit (LRT) line in Phu Quoc. Connecting Phu Quoc International Airport with the APEC Convention Center, the LRT line will not only enhance the island's capacity to host APEC 2027 but also usher in a new era of infrastructure and urban spatial development for the special economic zone.

Phase 1 of the Phu Quoc LRT (Light Rail Transit) project is being implemented under the BOT model by Sun Group, with a total investment of nearly VND 9,000 billion and a scheduled completion date in the second quarter of 2027. This is a transport infrastructure project of strategic significance, poised to shape urban development patterns and serve as a new growth driver for Phu Quoc in the coming period. Sun Group is currently the first private enterprise in Vietnam to undertake an LRT project, marking a significant step in the private sector's deeper involvement in modern public transport infrastructure. Upon completion, Phu Quoc will become the first city in Vietnam to feature this modern form of urban transport.
