The Prime Minister said it’s important to restructure the economy in connection with renovating the growth model, applying science and technology, and promoting a green economy, digital economy, and circular economy. According to the PM, improving land use and management will ensure a harmony of interests for the state, the people, and businesses, and make Vietnam a country with modern industry, high-middle-income by 2030, and a high-income, developed country by 2045.
"This is a complicated, sensitive issue that concerns the past, present, and future time, religion, and ethnicity, as well as economy, society, culture, national security and international concerns. It requires thorough research, flexibility, and respect for reality. What has been proved effective in reality and received social consensus can be included in the policy while unclear issues need to be studied further," said the Prime Minister.
Head of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission Tran Tuan Anh reported the Party Resolution on agriculture, farmers and rural areas until 2030 with a vision to 2045. Mr. Anh highlighted solutions for improving the lives of rural people.
In his report at the conference, Deputy Prime Minister Le Minh Khai stressed the need to adopt a resolution on reforming and improving the collective economy in the new period. He said collective economy is an important economic sector which needs to be consolidated and developed in parallel with the state economic sector to sustain the national economy. He added that developing collective economy is an inevitable trend for international integration and matches the socialist-oriented market economy.
The conference will close on Friday.
