Hanoi city is always ready to exchange experiences with Son La province in managing and promoting resources to serve socio-economic development," Hanoi Party Secretary emphasized.
According to Member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of Son La Provincial Party Committee Hoang Van Nghiem, in the context of promoting decentralization, delegation of power and effective operation of the two-level local government management model, the management of finance, budget, public investment, and land poses increasingly high requirements. The handover and receipt of dossiers, assets, projects and the final settlement of financial obligations require transparency, synchronization, and clarity of legal responsibility.
