In response, HCM City Administration Chairman Nguyen Van Duoc reaffirmed Ho Chi Minh City’s commitment to administrative reform, aimed at creating a more favourable and efficient environment for investors.
The city is actively directing departments and agencies to streamline procedures, boost digital public services, and improve the quality of the Public Administration Service Centre, he said.
With regard to infrastructure, Duoc revealed that the city is planning significant investments in urban railways and freight transport systems connected to seaports through 2035, aiming to ease congestion and reduce logistics costs.
In addition, it is seeking partnerships with businesses to support workforce development and training, with a focus on building a highly skilled labour force.
“The city is always ready to listen to the business community, address obstacles, and work alongside enterprises for sustainable, long-term development,” stressed the official.
