Mr. Nguyen Duc Cao, Deputy Head of Bac Ninh Industrial Park Management Board, spoke at the Conference. |
According to members, although each locality has different operational characteristics, the Management Boards all share the same opinion that the current state policies on the management of industrial parks and economic zones have been affecting the implementation of state management activities (in almost all fields) and the development of industrial parks, export processing zones, and economic zones.

Mr. Bui Ngoc Hai, Deputy Head of HAI PHONG ECONOMIC ZONE AUTHORITY, spoke at the Conference. |
The reason is that the development of industrial parks, export processing zones, and economic zones is a specific field, related to many industries and fields, so in the process of implementing activities, it has been governed by specialized laws. On the other hand, in some localities, many Management Boards of industrial parks, export processing zones, and economic zones have not been interested in decentralizing and authorizing their operations according to the provisions of Decree No. 35 of the Government (regulations on the management of industrial parks and economic zones); therefore, in the process of implementing state management of industrial parks and economic zones, the role, effectiveness and efficiency of operations have not been promoted, directly affecting the progress and effectiveness of the development of industrial parks, export processing zones, and economic zones.
