This would be the first stage of the project, said Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc (photo), head of the Government Office and chairman of the Consulting Council for Administrative Reform.

He told a meeting between the council and representatives of foreign-invested enterprises in HCM City that the project was evidence of the Government’s commitment to creating a more liberal investment and business environment in the country.

The implementation of the project was being monitored by the Prime Minister, ministers and heads of provincial administrations, Phuc said.

Phuc is also the head of a taskforce specialising in administrative reforms which is advising the council on ways to speed up the project.
