HÀ NỘI – Prime Minister Nguyễn Xuân Phúc presided over the second meeting in Hà Nội yesterday of the Socio-Economic Subcommittee, one of several subcommittees to prepare for the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Việt Nam.

The function aims to outline a roadmap to realise the subcommittee’s key tasks, which are to build two documents to serve to the congress: the 10-year socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030 and the five-year socio-economic development plan for 2021-2025.

The PM, who is head of the subcommittee, underlined the need to envision future fluctuations the country may encounter over the next five to 10 years.

He suggested pooling the intelligence of organisations and individuals, especially think tanks and research institutes.

The Government leader urged the subcommittee to complete detailed drafts for the documents by April next year.

He said a deep analysis of the Vietnamese economy is necessary to identify problems, such as shortcomings of the capital market and land market, the inappropriate allocation of resources and ineffective operation of State enterprises, with a view to proposing solutions.

The PM asked that the documents clarify the relations between the economy, society and the environment, the connections between rapid and sustainable development as well as between comprehensive development and the development of key sectors.

The 13th National Party Congress is scheduled to be held in the first quarter of 2021. — VNS
