Regarding the establishment of IFC, on the morning of November 1, at the Government headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh said that, with the spirit of "one center - two destinations", the Government will establish two executive agencies in two localities ( Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang) but one common supervisory agency, one common court to resolve disputes.

The center operates on the basis of digitalization, artificial intelligence (AI), is highly competitive and attracts development resources. People must be professional, including domestic and foreign experts to absorb the essence and international wisdom that has been summarized but nationalized to Vietnamese conditions.

The Prime Minister emphasized the spirit of one door, one seal, one person, removing unnecessary barriers and administrative procedures. Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang need to prepare the necessary conditions, issue and publicly announce specific policies and regulations within their authority.

The Prime Minister requested the relevant agencies to urgently submit to the Government a Government Decree in the coming days so that the Center can go into operation in November.
