HÀ NỘI Viet Nam News -— The first meeting between the newly-appointed Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc and the Vietnamese business community will be held on April 29, nearly one month after he took the office.

According to the Government Office, the conference, themed "Vietnamese enterprises - the country’s economic development force", aims to realise the Prime Minister’s message that the Government will create favourable conditions for start-up businesses and boost the development of enterprises in terms of both quantity and quality.

In the meeting, the Prime Minister will hear recommendations from businesses as well as discuss solutions to facilitate business operations and tackle difficulties and obstacles that enterprises face.

To prepare for the event, Phúc has asked ministries and the people’s committees of cities and provinces to report solutions to difficulties and propose measures to improve the business environment.

The Việt Nam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) was assigned to prepare a report on the operation of enterprises and to co-operate with Hà Nội and HCM City’s people’s committees to draft a commitment to create the most favourable, healthy and fair business environment for local enterprises.

The agreement between the VCCI and the two committees are required to be signed with the Prime Minister as witness in the meeting.

Chairing the first Government cabinet meeting as Prime Minister, Phúc highlighted the importance of tackling institutional obstacles that are holding back business development. He requested Government members to have action plans to solve problems, focusing on building and completing legal frameworks so as not to let the community weaken. – VNS
