Other opinions at the meeting were related to removing obstacles in site clearance, upgrading industrial park infrastructure, and improving the fee collection and wastewater collection systems in industrial parks, in order to create more favorable conditions for businesses to operate.

Speaking at the conference, Mr. Do Van Ve, Chairman of the Thai Binh Provincial Business Association, stated that although administrative procedures in the field of investment and business have been improved, there are still many barriers, causing difficulties for businesses. Some directives and management documents of the Provincial People's Committee in recent times have also significantly affected business operations.

Mr. Dinh Gia Dung, Provincial Party Committee member, Chairman of Thai Binh City People's Committee responded to the business's recommendations.

In the manufacturing sector, the textile, footwear, and electronics industries are facing difficulties due to high input costs, low output prices, and fluctuating USD exchange rates. The land sector is facing problems with site clearance and transfer procedures. Real estate is sluggish, with few transactions, high prices, and illegal brokerage. Finance, taxes, construction materials, and ceramics are all facing difficulties in settlement, inventory, and declining sales. Commerce, tourism, restaurants, and hotels are facing difficulties in consumption, and land rental prices are increasing. The clean water sector is affected by climate change, with water prices not covering costs, etc.

To overcome these difficulties, the Thai Binh Provincial Business Association recommends that the Provincial Party Committee, Provincial People's Council, Provincial People's Committee and all levels and sectors pay attention to solving the following issues: developing and promulgating mechanisms and policies to support businesses in digital transformation, applying science and technology, training workers, expanding bus routes; continuing to reform administrative procedures, improving the investment and business environment, reducing costs for businesses; thoroughly resolving business recommendations, especially long-standing issues.

Create conditions for water plants to build reserve reservoirs; resolve environmental pollution in Thai Phuong craft village; pay attention to adjusting the planning of Thai Binh Economic Zone; strengthen coordination between levels and sectors in resolving complicated cases.

Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Thai Binh province spoke at the conference.

Representatives of a number of departments, branches and localities: Department of Finance, Department of Agriculture and Environment, People's Committee of Thai Binh City, People's Committee of Hung Ha District, Tax Department, Customs,... directly responded and clarified the contents of the enterprises' recommendations and proposals with the spirit of acceptance and determination to solve the problems for enterprises.

At the conference, Chairman of Thai Binh Provincial People's Committee, Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung, affirmed that the province will continue to accompany businesses and provide maximum support to overcome difficulties. The Chairman of Thai Binh Provincial People's Committee stated that one of the top goals of the province is to continue reforming, cutting administrative procedures, reducing costs for businesses, while developing infrastructure and improving the quality of public services. Thai Binh is committed to continuing to improve the business investment environment, promoting innovation, applying technology in industries, and thoroughly resolving outstanding issues.

In addition, the provincial government pays special attention to building a mechanism to support businesses in digital transformation, applying science and technology and training high-quality human resources.

The leaders of Thai Binh province also called on businesses to continue to make efforts, innovate and use land resources for the right purposes to promote the province's sustainable development, while creating many job opportunities and contributing to local socio-economic development.

The dialogue conference to resolve difficulties and obstacles for businesses is not only an opportunity for businesses to reflect on their difficulties but also an opportunity to build a close cooperative relationship between businesses and local authorities. Through the conference, businesses were able to share the practical problems they encountered and receive direct support from departments and branches, and at the same time propose solutions to improve the situation.
