Hanoi (VNA) – Party General Secretary To Lam on November 13 chaired a working session with the sub-committee for socio-economic affairs of the 14th National Party Congress.
The meeting saw the head of the subcommittee, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, and its standing member, Minister of Planning and Investment Nguyen Chi Dung, presenting reports on progress toward refining the draft 5-year review report that assesses the implementation of the socio-economic development strategy for 2021-2030 and outlines further orientations for 2026-2030; and on high growth scenarios for 2025 and for 2026-2030.
In his concluding remarks, the Party chief commended the subcommittee for its dedication, noting that the draft 5-year review report, after 12 revisions, is now ready for presentation to the Politburo. He stressed the importance of incorporating a forward-looking vision that aligns with the dual “centenary goals” outlined by the 13th Party Congress and of making the review report to serve as a true "action programme" to inspire nationwide momentum toward national development, engaging officials, Party members, and all social strata.
The General Secretary underscored the need for a unified approach to fast yet sustainable growth, ensuring high growth while maintaining macroeconomic stability, balancing economic development with cultural, social, and environmental issues, and ensuring national defence and security.
People must remain central as both the most important subject, resource and goal of development, the leader said, adding that cultural values and people must be considered a foundation, driving force and intrinsic strength for sustainable progress.
Highlighting the importance of further reforming and improving Vietnam’s development institutions, particularly the one for a socialist-oriented market economy, the leader stated it is a critical breakthrough to unlock resources for socio-economic growth.
ಞ There is a need to accelerate industrialisation and modernisation, develop a harmonious and smart infrastructure system, and prioritise the development of high-quality human resources, science-technology, innovation, and creativity, he said, adding advancing new economic models and comprehensive digital transformation is also crucial./.
