In order to help enterprises and investors remove difficulties and problems in the implementation of investment projects, delegates suggested the provincial authorities assign the Department of Natural Resources and Environment to coordinate with localities in supporting investment to speed up the completion of site clearance and land lease for project implementation.

The Department of Construction should review processes and procedures related to the licensing of project construction, ensuring strict management and creating the most favorable conditions for investors. Localities need to direct the concerned units to expeditiously guide investors to complete land lease dossiers to carry out their projects according to the approved schedules.
