On behalf of the leaders of Nghe An province, I would like to sincerely thank, acknowledge and accept the frank, profound and enthusiastic opinions of the delegates at this workshop. The issues raised by you at today's workshop are extremely practical, providing valuable practical experience for us in the process of directing and operating so that investment activities in the province become more and more effective, better meeting the requirements of businesses and investors.

Regarding the issues that you are interested in at this workshop, which we have not answered or discussed satisfactorily, the current difficulties when investing in Nghe An such as the lack of transparency above, but not below; compensation for site clearance is slow, complicated, and expensive; the time to process procedures is long; coordination between sectors is not good, there is still pushing and indifference. Nghe An needs to carry out a revolution in administrative reform, working style, attitude, and working style of departments, especially the responsibility of leaders, and the first requirement is to focus on the 7 units that the province has chosen.

The province needs to innovate in the way of calling for and promoting, especially in strengthening support for investors who have already come to complete procedures; in the way of training human resources, in the way of building infrastructure, logistics services, in the way of approaching investment fields; in coordination with central agencies, departments and branches; in approaching and calling for foreign investment; in need of attention to small and medium enterprises; in the issue of foreign language training, labor culture, etc.

We will continue to direct departments, branches and localities to continue to research and respond to you in writing or via email. For issues that you are interested in, but have not had time to discuss at this Workshop, please continue to inform and send to the Department of Planning and Investment for synthesis, advice to the Provincial People's Committee to assign relevant agencies and units to handle, respond and report results.

Once again, I would like to affirm the province's commitment to investors: Nghe An province not only invites, but more importantly, we will accompany you, create the most favorable conditions and are ready to support and cooperate closely with all investors.

We also want to emphasize that our companionship with you is not just slogans or promises at meetings, seminars, conferences... but we have been, are and will demonstrate it through specific, practical actions.

We also commit to investors about transparency when you invest in Nghe An. Any questions you have about investment procedures, policies related to the investment environment, we will listen, resolve within our authority or recommend competent authorities to resolve as soon as possible, clearly and transparently.

Building on the results achieved at the Annual Meeting with Investors, I believe that, with the determination and high consensus of local authorities at all levels, the active support from the Central Ministries and branches, the wholehearted contribution of experts and scientists; and the strong response of investors and businesses, Nghe An province will definitely have a bright spot in socio-economic development in general, and investment attraction in particular. And hopefully, in the coming time, we will continue to receive your comments, exchanges and companionship in the cause of socio-economic development of Nghe An province.

On behalf of the provincial leaders and the Organizing Committee of the Conference, I would like to sincerely thank the leaders of the Ministry of Planning and Investment, the Vietnam Economic Institute, the Foreign Investment Agency, the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry, diplomatic agencies, international organizations, business associations, investors, financial institutions, training units and news agencies and newspapers for attending and contributing valuable comments.
