Accompanying businesses, cooperatives, business households

Instead of organizing meetings and dialogues with businesses, cooperatives in the province as every year, from September 2022 until now, leaders of the Provincial People’s Committee, departments and sectors have met and talk with businesses, cooperatives and business households in the districts and cities. Thereby, the difficulties and problems of them are timely removed.

According to the Department of Planning and Investment, by the end of September 2022, there have been 3,684 businesses in the province with registered capital of 37,290 billion VND; 440 cooperatives and nearly 40,000 business households registering to operate. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, many businesses, cooperatives and business households have been severely affected. Therefore, the specialized agency has advised the Provincial People’s Committee to implement many measures to support and remove difficulties for the community of businesses, cooperatives and business households in the province, typically the meetings of the leaders of the Provincial People’s Committee with businesses, cooperatives, and business households in the districts and Lang Son city.
