Hanoi Chairman: Strictly handle acts of causing trouble and harassment to businesses
On April 16, Chairman of Hanoi People's Committee Vu Dai Thang chaired a dialogue conference with small and medium-sized enterprises, affirming that the city will continue to maintain a channel to listen, receive and respond to business opinions regularly, not only within the framework of the conference.
At the conference, city leaders frankly pointed out many shortcomings such as slow administrative reform, complicated procedures, ineffective coordination between agencies; along with problems in taxes, electronic invoices, digital transformation, land access and shortage of high-quality labor.
