Mr. Vo Van Minh emphasized that each resolution passed not only has legal significance but also demonstrates the People's Council's political commitment to the people and businesses. This is a promise to continue to remove difficulties, improve the investment environment, perfect institutions and create a clear legal corridor to promote the rapid and sustainable development of Ho Chi Minh City in the coming period. He also requested the City People's Committee and departments, branches and localities to promptly concretize the resolutions into clear and transparent action programs regarding goals, progress, responsibilities and results.

The Presidium conducts the meeting

In the coming time, the City People's Council will especially emphasize the task of removing long-standing bottlenecks, from planning, traffic infrastructure to administrative procedure reform and public investment. Promoting the "leverage" role of public investment is expected to create a strong enough pull to stimulate the private sector, contributing to expanding development space and enhancing the city's competitiveness. In addition, Ho Chi Minh City aims to effectively mobilize socialized resources to develop infrastructure, urban embellishment, expand green spaces and public spaces, and improve the quality of life for people.
