It will bring together about 150 delegates, including representatives from some ministries, agencies, associations and businesses (excluding foreign-invested firms), the agency said.

The delegates will hear reports on Vietnam’s socio-economic development, and support to enterprises over the past time, along with solutions to restore the city’s economic development. The participating businesses will also share their difficulties on this occasion.

On October 19, the municipal People’s Committee in coordination with the HPA also organised a similar conference for FDI firms in Hanoi.

At the event, the city’s leaders informed the participants about solutions to remove hurdles for FDI enterprises in the coming time, especially in the context of Hanoi entering the “new normal” after the COVID-19 pandemic is controlled.
