A few days ago, on May 28, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue attended the Conference to announce the Planning and Investment Promotion of Ha Tinh Province. In his speech to a large number of central and local officials and investors, the National Assembly Chairman frankly stated his point of view: It is necessary to proactively identify early and from afar the obstacles that can create difficulties for businesses in order to resolve them in advance. Do not wait until businesses encounter difficulties before finding ways to resolve and support them. Because sometimes before the resolution is complete, businesses will have to dissolve and go bankrupt!

That is a very important message and needs to be implemented soon!

It is undeniable that, with the efforts of the entire political system, the investment, production and business environment of our country in general and localities in particular is becoming more and more open. Vietnam has become a very attractive destination for foreign investors. This has been proven by specific figures on foreign capital flows into Vietnam in recent years, the evaluation of foreign investors in the press and many international forums, and by the ranking indexes of prestigious organizations around the world.

But it cannot be denied that Vietnamese enterprises still have to complain a lot about cumbersome and complicated administrative procedures; conditions and standards that are too high compared to countries in the region, even compared to developed countries in the world, like a puzzle for Vietnamese enterprises.

There is also another sad reality: a significant number of our cadres, civil servants and public employees are still not fully aware that they are paid to serve the people and businesses. Therefore, they are still indifferent and apathetic to the work of the people and businesses, and even seek to make things difficult for the people and businesses for various purposes. These are the huge rocks that block the development of the country's socio-economy that we are actively identifying and removing, but the results are still not as expected.

Perhaps, we need direct evaluation of the people and businesses with the officials, civil servants and public employees serving them in appropriate and convenient ways. That is certainly the most effective tool to neutralize the "crab claws and fish fins" in the public apparatus!
