As a result, procedures are handled more quickly, reducing the need for repeated trips as in the past.Officials and staff help many applicants complete their documents correctly on the first attempt, taking only about 30 minutes. This helps reduce travel costs and makes procedures more convenient for citizens and businesses.Localities across the city are promoting the friendly government model, not pursuing formality but instead starting from the actual needs of citizens and businesses. The effectiveness of the model is reflected in the attitude, sense of responsibility and concrete actions of each official and civil servant.
