At present, Hanoi is operating its public service portal to better process administrative procedures, with 54 million documents handled since 2016 to date, in which 99% were on time.
Chung revealed Hanoi would relocate eight departments into a public administration center in Vo Chi Cong street for greater convenience for citizens and smooth inter-agency cooperation.
Minister of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung said Hanoi has been an example for other provinces/cities in executing online public services, with 1,448 out of 1,818 administrative procedures, or 81%, being processed online at stage 3 and 4 out of a 4-level scale.
