Comrade Nguyen Quang Uy, Secretary of the Party Committee of Tang Loong commune proposed ideas at the conference.

At the conference, representatives of localities and units discussed the advantages and difficulties in converting Tang Loong Industrial Park into an ecological industrial park. Among them, there were issues raised such as: This is an industrial park with many fertilizer, chemical and metallurgical factories... so the volume of solid waste, emissions is large and pollution backlog needs to be treated. Therefore, converting technology, upgrading factories, installing treatment systems will require large costs and a long time. Along with that, investment in green infrastructure (centralized treatment plants, exhaust gas treatment systems, recycling, circulating water supply and drainage systems) requires large capital and needs preferential mechanisms and loan support... Therefore, businesses propose that the Central Government and Lao Cai province need to have support mechanisms in terms of technology, capital, human resource training... The authorities of Tang Loong and Gia Phu communes propose that the province support the review of land use planning, planning of residential areas, urban areas, and allocation of land funds for forestation to create more green belts for industrial parks.
