HANOI, Nov. 4 (Xinhua) -- Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh on Tuesday stressed the country's determination to put an international financial center into operation this month, the local daily Voice of Vietnam reported.
He made the remarks while chairing a thematic government meeting on draft decrees guiding the implementation of the National Assembly's resolution on developing an international financial center in Vietnam.
The prime minister stressed the urgency of finalizing foundational decrees for the implementation process.
He also emphasized the need to establish preferential and breakthrough mechanisms and policies in areas such as finance, monetary affairs, banking, labor, employment, social welfare, land, environment and trade to ensure the center operates in line with international practices.
In June, the Vietnamese National Assembly approved a resolution on the establishment of the international financial center in Ho Chi Minh City and Da Nang City, according to the Vietnam News Agency. ■
