He emphasised that Hue should strongly develop its cultural industries with active and effective participation from the people; build the Hue brand as a distinctive cultural, tourism, and culinary city in Southeast Asia; and complete a comprehensive, modern, smart infrastructure system.
Quang also asked the locality to pay special attention to improving the people’s lives; building a facilitating government, shifting strongly toward modern, transparent, and efficient governance; and stepping up administrative reforms, ensuring that 100% of administrative procedures involving citizens and businesses are conducted online, without administrative boundaries within the city.
