Recognizing that improving the investment and business environment and creating favorable conditions for businesses to develop and maintain long-term commitment to the province is a crucial task, at the 45th meeting of the Provincial People's Committee on the implementation of tasks for the second quarter of 2025, the Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee requested departments and agencies to review investment procedures, eliminate unnecessary procedures, and create the most favorable conditions for businesses when investing in Son La province.

Comrade NGUYEN DINH VIET - Deputy Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Chairman of the People's Committee of Son La Province:We must put ourselves in the investor's shoes to be determined to improve the investment environment. I really want our departments and agencies to work together to support investors, so that more investors will come to us. With the spirit of striving to promote production and business activities, creating the best possible conditions for businesses and people, we should develop a plan to monitor the progress of departments and agencies, including the districts, in implementation. This will help us boost investment and growth in the coming period.

In 2025, Son La province aims for an 8% growth rate, a challenging goal requiring the efforts of the Party committee, the government, and the cooperation of businesses. However, with strong political determination, a spirit of harmonious cooperation, and shared risks, Son La province has been creating favorable conditions to help businesses develop, thereby contributing to the province's achievement of its 2025 growth target.
