Deputy Minister Phuc asked participants to seriously contribute their ideas to perfecting the project.

At the meeting, Chairman of the municipal People’s Committee Le Hoang Quan spoke of the achievements reaped by the city in its socio-economic and cultural development in recent time.

It is necessary to research and build appropriate urban authority models to meet the demands of development, thus fostering administrative reform in the country, he added.
