After listening to the report of the Standing Vice Chairman of the People's Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Dac Vinh requested the sectors to clarify why the production value targets of service sectors are difficult to meet the set growth requirements;...

Responding to the concerns of the Provincial Party Secretary about the reason why service industries did not meet growth targets, Director of the Department of Planning and Investment Nguyen Van Do said: In the service structure with 15 industries, some industries such as restaurants and hotels have a high growth rate of over 18% but account for a low proportion; while information technology, telecommunications, and banking industries account for a large proportion but have slowed down their development.

Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee Nguyen Van Thong raised concerns about the total social investment in 2017 reaching 58,000 billion VND, but the actual amount implemented needs to be accurately assessed, because investment efficiency is what is important.

Raising a series of existing and pressing issues through contact with voters, Comrade Cao Thi Hien - Member of the Provincial Party Standing Committee, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Council requested the Provincial People's Committee and relevant sectors to study and find solutions to end the situation of "brokers" in land auctions in rural areas; rectify the management of urban projects in the province; and strictly implement decisions to revoke projects.

Comrade Nguyen Huu Cau - Member of the Standing Committee, Director of the Provincial Police, stated that in reality, administrative reform still has many cumbersome procedures, so it needs to be prioritized and focused on more drastically, because otherwise it will be a big barrier to development and investment attraction.

The provincial police chief also admitted that there was a situation of land brokers in the auctions and the root cause was because the regulations still allowed land brokers to participate in the auctions and there was negativity on the part of the auction council. The solution to this situation is that the province needs to re-examine the land auction regulations more strictly.
