PM, business circle discuss ways to tackle pandemic-caused difficulties

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the meeting.

According to the leader, since the start of the pandemic, the government has worked out various policies in support of the company. The National Assembly recently joined the government in the effort, and the government is currently building measures to help companies recover and develop their operation and has asked the N.A. to amend many laws to help the firms.

Representatives of the business circle thanked the government and the PM for their support, and welcomed the advocate of shifting from the “zero COVID-19” goal to flexibly and safely responding to the pandemic. They also expressed their determination to join the government and the people in winning over the pandemic, recovering and developing production and business.

Participants raised proposals to the government and the PM such as giving firms the initiative in fighting the pandemic and developing their production; continuing to prioritize vaccinating workers; re-opening firms whose workers are fully vaccinated; allowing domestic and foreign tourism conditionally.
