On October 25, the Customs Information and Statistics Department and the Risk Management Department had a meeting with the Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry (VCCI) and some business associations to collect opinions on the draft list of connected and shared information of central and local authorities via the National Single Window.

At the meeting, the Customs Information and Statistics Department reviewed the action roadmap and outstanding results of the National Single Window; illustrated directions of all-level leaders and roadmaps for developing a draft decree on information sharing at the National Single Window and drafting the list of connected and shared information of central and local agencies at the National Single Window.

Despite impressive achievements, the National Single Window also revealed certain shortcomings that need to be addressed to further improve the quality of public services delivered by governmental agencies; bring administrative procedures to this window; reduce compliance costs and time for businesses but still ensure the efficiency and effectiveness of state management.

Mr. Ho Ngoc Phan, Deputy Director of the Risk Management Department, said that customs authorities worked with nine ministries and agencies to complete the draft list of information.

At this meeting, customs authorities hoped to receive more comments from VCCI and business associations in a bid to realize the goal of making a list of shared information and help create favorable conditions for the business community and enhance the performance of central and local agencies.
