The PM made that statement on January 15 at a meeting of the Ministry of Planning and Investment to review works in 2017 and launch tasks for 2018. 

He highlighted the ministry’s elimination of 1,930 business conditions, asking the ministry to renew and reform their assigned tasks as well as overcome shortcomings and obstacles in 2018.     

He requested the ministry to urgently complete law projects and closely follow the implementation of Resolution No.01 on major tasks and solutions guiding the implementation of the 2018 socioeconomic development plan and state budget estimates. 

The ministry needs to join hands with the Ministry of Finance and other relevant agencies to mobilize investment resources for key infrastructure projects such as the construction of North-South Highways and Long Thanh Airport, he said. 

Referring to administrative reforms, improvement of the investment and business environment and enhancement of competitiveness, the PM expected that a total number of 150,000 enterprises will be set up this year. 

Reorganization of the sector, reduction of workforce, maintaining disciplines, anti-waste and anti-corruption are key tasks of the ministry, he stressed. 

In the process of establishment of development policies, the sector must put the benefits of the nation and people on the top for further sustainable development, the Government chief said.
