Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has affirmed that the Government will continue to protect the business community and their legitimate rights and interests, while working harder to reduce costs to enhance domestic firms’ competitiveness in international integration.The Government leader made the pledge during his meeting in Hanoi on October 13 with more than 100 delegates representing the Central Council of Vietnamese Business Associations and major enterprises on the occasion of the Vietnam Entrepreneurs’ Day.
The Government remains steadfast in its policy of facilitating and accompanying businesses, towards fulfilling socio-economic targets of the 2016-2021 period, PM Phuc said.
He acknowledged that domestic businesses have unceasingly grown in terms of both scale and quality of operation, and asked that business associations become more involved in the policy making process through proposing suitable mechanisms and policies, and informing the Government on arising problems for timely settlement.
The associations should serve as an important information channel helping the Government assess the efficiency of policies, thus making suitable adjustment and revision, PM Phuc said.
