The National Assembly will issue a resolution on this issue to concretize the policy.
However, this is a completely new field for Vietnam and must compete with many financial centers in the world. I request the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister to inform us how the Government, ministries, and localities have prepared and the implementation roadmap?
Responding to this issue, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh emphasized that the Financial Center is a very wise step for us in the current period.
Affirming that it is very necessary, the Government leader said that we have met all the conditions to build a Financial Center. The financial center meets our acceleration and growth requirements in the coming period in terms of capital and diversification.
Despite the many difficulties, the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that all delegates saw the need to be a Financial Center.
To implement the Financial Center, the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that there are many contents.
In terms of law, the National Assembly is discussing a resolution, issuing a common legal framework, and delegates are also participating in the discussion.
The Government is developing a series of decrees. The Politburo also assigned the judicial agencies to develop projects to form legal frameworks for dispute resolution.
Thus, legally, we create a legal corridor.
In terms of human resources, the two localities assigned to this task, Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang, have issued a resolution of the Standing Committee of the City Party Committee on the implementation of the Financial Center.
The locality has proactively selected a team of staff to send for training abroad, and has also searched for Vietnamese people working at global financial centers to invite them to return.
We approached some people and when they heard this news, they were very excited and ready to return to Vietnam to work, said the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister.
Regarding planning, the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that the Government proposed that the National Assembly allow the Government and the two cities to adjust this planning in the master plan to prepare for the Financial Center; of which, Da Nang is about 350 hectares, Ho Chi Minh City is about more than 600 hectares.
Government leaders said that many foreign investors have intended to visit these two cities to build a financial center.
" urban pollution problem - if not solved, there will be a fault with the people"
11:07: Delegate Luong Van Hung (Quang Ngai Delegation) said that the situation of environmental pollution, especially air pollution, and water pollution is increasingly serious, affecting the quality of life and health of people. Many days a year, the air quality index exceeds the danger level, but the warning is still passive and unsynchronized.
"The Deputy Prime Minister is requested to provide a comprehensive solution to control the quality of the air and water resources in large cities today" - Mr. Hung said.
Regarding urban pollution, the Deputy Prime Minister acknowledged that this is a huge problem, if not solved, it will be the fault of the people. The immediate future is large urban areas such as Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City and towards urban areas across the country.
Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said that in recent times, we have done many things, including innovating waste collection and treatment; moving production facilities out of the city; handling rivers and lakes in the city; policies to move crowded facilities such as universities out of the central area; planting more trees and cultural areas for the center...
In the long term, the Government has been assigned by the Politburo to develop a project to reduce water and air pollution in large urban areas. We are actively implementing and will report - the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said and added that we must also consider developing green transportation, limiting personal transportation, and increasing public transport utilities.
He acknowledged that this is a fundamental, long-term project with many solutions, such as applying environmental observation using modern means, analyzing and assessing the environment using AI to give early warnings to the people. However, the warning is not enough to keep people in the air.
This is the Government's efforts and determination. With this project, the resources are huge, and will certainly reach individuals if the decisions are related to individuals. I hope voters, National Assembly deputies, and people will support this policy for the benefit of the community the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister expressed his wish.
Proposal to develop a Law on Traditional Medicine
10:59: Delegate Nguyen Quang Huan (Binh Duong) assessed that Resolution 57 has aroused a wave of science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation. However, there is a traditional science that our ancestors have passed down that traditional medicine is at risk of being forgotten.
Preserving and developing this traditional science is also to develop popular medicine, directly examining and treating diseases for the community, especially in remote areas. At the same time, it also prevents the risk of "taking advantage of loopholes to sell fake drugs to the community".
From the above practice, the delegate asked whether it is time for us to build the Law on Traditional Medicine of Vietnam or not?
Responding to the delegate's questioning, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said that traditional medicine has never been forgotten, this is our pride - "In fact, traditional medicine is the salvation, especially in remote areas. Living in urban areas also depends on traditional medicine. The Party, State and Government always create conditions and encourage the development of this field".
According to Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh, in the future, when the Politburo approves the project to develop health care for people, promoting traditional medicine will be the solution for Vietnam to be chosen as a treatment destination for the world.
In fact, many localities are developing very attractive raw material areas, which are solutions to improve people's lives.
"Quang Nam, Kon Tum, Ngoc Linh ginseng areas or many other medicinal regions have significantly improved people's lives, even much more prosperous than in urban areas," said Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh.
There will be solutions to prevent profiteering from land speculation after merging provinces and cities
10:04: Delegate Nguyen Thi Thu Dung - (National Assembly Delegation of Thai Binh Province) mentioned the problem of increasing housing prices in merged localities, causing difficulties for officials when they are transferred to new workplaces. She asked what is the Government's solution to support the people?
Responding to the delegate's question, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh said that prices are developed according to the supply-demand relationship. When it becomes the administrative center of the locality, the increase is understandable.
On the contrary, for localities that have to relocate, have to merge into other provinces, not be chosen as the main center, housing prices may decrease.
Faced with this situation, the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister said that the Government has directed localities that are administrative boundary centers to have solutions to support people and civil servants.
In the immediate future, many localities will take dormitories, student housing, social housing, and surplus headquarters after the merger to arrange accommodation for cadres. In the long term, some localities have prepared land, ready in the long term, and can arrange for officials...
To control rising and falling prices, the Government will have solutions to prevent speculation and profiteering of real estate prices, said the Permanent Deputy Prime Minister.

The world is still very large and we are looking for new markets, while supporting businesses to boost exports of goods.
Our country also strengthens the conversion of export structure. Focus on deep processing to create higher added value, instead of only exporting fresh, rough agricultural products. The Permanent Deputy Prime Minister stated that in case risks occur, the Government will also be ready with tax and fee solutions to support businesses in solving difficulties.
The organizational revolution creates a diverse and large enough space for economic development
10:45: Starting to question, delegate Mai Khanh (Ninh Binh province) said that in 2025, our country's economic situation will still face risks and challenges from the outside, such as increasing geopolitical risks, especially trade war, technology, trade protection, especially the application of US countervales and the response of countries, causing commodity prices, interest rates, and inflation to decrease more slowly than expected. This has put pressure on Vietnam's inflation and exchange rate.
The delegate said that domestically, businesses are still facing many difficulties, the number of businesses temporarily suspending business is still increasing, the number of businesses completing dissolutions is increasing, the number of businesses withdrawing from the market is still high.
The above factors create great pressure on macroeconomic stability, production and business, and job creation to ensure social security.
