He acknowledged that citizens and businesses alike have expressed satisfaction with the center’s services, as administrative procedures can now be handled either online or in person in a swift and efficient manner, without negative practices or so-called “petty corruption.”

PM Pham Minh Chinh emphasized that the ultimate goal of the center is to serve the people, streamline cumbersome procedures, and reduce costs and travel time for citizens. He stressed that officials must demonstrate a proactive, dedicated, responsible and courteous working attitude. Administrative processes, he said, must be conducted in a transparent and timely manner, strictly adhering to deadlines. In cases where applications cannot be processed, officials must clearly explain the reasons and respond within the prescribed timeframe. He also suggested that the center arrange personnel to receive applications around the clock in order to better serve the public.

Acknowledging several difficulties and bottlenecks in the center’s operations, PM Pham Minh Chinh requested Quang Ninh to promptly compile and report unresolved issues related to public service procedures to the relevant ministries and central agencies, so he is able to provide timely direction.

The Government leader also urged provincial leaders to soon consider policies to increase specific allowances for the center's staff, with a view to preventing negative practices and ensuring stable livelihoods. He encouraged them to continue upholding their spirit of dedication and professionalism, remain worthy of the people’s trust, and contribute meaningfully to the development of Quang Ninh province.
