However, there remain many challenges and difficulties such as the economic growth was still low, the progress of the implementation of projects remained slow, the administrative reform in some sectors was unsatisfactory, and many difficulties to enterprises remain unsolved.
Thang asked authorities and industries, in the time to come, to continue intensifying the administrative reform, working out mechanisms and support policies to ease the difficulties, creating favourable conditions for enterprises in production, business and market expansion, implementing solutions to increase revenue and ensure resources for development investment, especially in the field of agriculture, rural development and tourism.
