Meanwhile, the youth union of the Hanoi Department of Planning & Investment has a similar working model “Youth union members supporting the online business registration process”. With this model, members of the Youth union not only help individuals and organizations to solve any issues occurring during the online business registration process, but when they are in need of advices or any question related to the legal process, the youth union members have always been supportive with high responsibility and dedication.
