The Resolution was specified into tasks and assigned to each organization and agency for implementation, which urged the leaders of the province, districts, city, departments and sectors to accompany the investment.

The provincial Public Administrative Center is put in operation, helping shorten several administrative procedures. The provincial authorities have mobilized various sources to develop the infrastructure, the industrial parks and clusters to early hand over the clean plane to the investors while focusing on human resource training.

To achieve the target, the province should enhance the quality of investment attraction and effectively use the investment attraction resources. Particularly, the province only approves for the investment to the projects with advanced technologies using less natural, human resources, power and clean water while definitely refusing to exchange the environment to investment attraction.

The priority should be taken to draw the projects in logistics, tourism, urban, education, healthcare, sports, especially to develop high technology agriculture and party contribute to restructuring the agriculture, boosting up the farm produce processing and consumption.

The Director of the DoPI Trinh Huu Thang said there are small land source in the industrial parks, hence the relevant levels and sectors should strictly join hand and highly focus on developing the traffic, technical infrastructure as well as well planning to create the land source to lure the investors. At the same time, the due attention should be paid to reforming the administrative procedure, enhancing the quality of human resources.

It cannot be solely implemented to boost up the investment attraction together with effectively use the sources to draw the investment toward the target of “fortuned businesses, developed province”, thus the investors, businesses must actively coordinate with the government to join hand to recovery the shortcomings and consequences from the investment attraction, especially handling the social welfare issues.
