He assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to study and consult ministries, agencies and delegates at the meeting to complete the 2019 coal export plan which ensures economic efficiency, meets national energy security requirements, provides maximum coal for domestic consumption and exports only coal types that the country does not need.

Dung also assigned the Ministry of Industry and Trade to further review and make annual coal export plans submitted to the Prime Minister for consideration and approval.
