The city will also set a target of having 100% of administrative procedures provided online at level 3 and 4 on the city public service portal this year; create forums on solving businesses’ problems and reduce barriers to project implementation.
Thu Duc City has proposed HCMC’s government to hand over a higher level of empowerment, allocate employees and capital for its key projects and the smart city project.
In conclusion, Permanent Vice Chairman of the People's Committee Le Hoa Binh asked Thu Duc City to strictly check the legal status of the planning and population situation for adjustment.
He highly appreciated the city’s solutions on implementing HCMC’s theme for 2022 of “Safe, flexible adaptation to and effective control of the Covid-19 pandemic”, and organizing forums to collect opinions from enterprises and people.
He noted that the city needs to pay attention to administrative reform and IT application, kick off main projects that have been allocated medium-term capital in 2021-2025 period, solve social security activities and urgently implement projects of education and health.
