Vice Secretary of the provincial Party Committee and Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang speaks at the event.

The local business association, along with enterprises and investors talked about their difficulties that need the provincial People’s Committee’s help to remove, such as too many overlapping inspections during a year. They also proposed that the province set the minimum and maximum compensation levels for projects in which the investors carry out land clearance by themselves. They suggested using the local budget to pay for accumulated debts in the field of construction, especially in the building of resettlement works and rebuilding of flood—damaged facilities.

The business circle also urged the province designate land for building storage facilities, revoke licence of delayed or ineffective projects in Hoa Binh city to allocate land for other capable firms. They recommended the province make specific development plans for each sector and industry in districts to facilitate investment, and regulations on the management and use of water surface bordering investment projects in the area of the reservoir on Da River.

Concluding the dialogue, Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Nguyen Van Quang said the opinions contributed by businesses were useful for the administration to address shortcomings in administrative procedures and better the local investment climate. He assigned departments and agencies to study the constructive opinions of enterprises and investors in order to report to and advise the provincial People’s Committee.

The provincial leader also entrusted the Chairman of Hoa Binh city’s People’s Committee to directly address proposals of businesses relating to the discharge of waste from Canal 20 into the water area managed by Quynh Lam brick-making company and the youth park project. He assigned Vice Chairman of the provincial People’s Committee Bui Van Khanh and directors of relevant departments to settle the problems faced by investment projects.

Businesses should proactively meet and exchange with directors of departments to remove difficulties, Quang said, adding that local authorities will accompany firms in order to improve investment attraction for the local socio-economic development.

Representatives of the provincial business association report their difficulties in investment to the provincial People’s Committee.
