A business meeting to foster the support and remove obstacles for
local enterprises was convened in the northern province of Quang Ninh on
March 31.
Addressing the event, Deputy Chairman of the
provincial People’s Committee, Nguyen Van Thanh, asserted that the
effectiveness of businesses determines the province’s development. He
pledged that local authorities will join forces with companies to remove
obstacles and promote production.
Pham Ngoc The, the Director of
Hoang Ha Group Joint Stock Company (JSC) and Chairman of the Quang Ninh
Business Association, said such business meetings created opportunities
for local firms to take advantage of preferential policies in
investment and project implementation.
According to Luong
Hoang Thai from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, enterprises should
take more initiative in improving product and service quality,
especially as a raft of international trade agreements will be
officially signed in the next two years, increasing market
competitiveness. These will include the Vietnam-ASEAN free trade
agreement (FTA) and the Trans-Pacific-Partnership (TPP) agreement.
In 2014, the province held such several business meetings, talks and forums yielding significant achievements.
By
the end of last year, the province licensed 849 new businesses,
creating a total of over 10,000 units firms with registered capital of
118.1 trillion VND (5.6 billion USD).-VNA
