A seminar themed, “ Vietnam towards a new decade and the future” was
held in Hanoi on August 18 to collect ideas and opinions around the
formulation of the country’s development strategy for the 2011-2020
period.
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung opened the seminar, saying
that the draft strategy identifies three breakthroughs – completion of
the socialist-oriented market economic institution, development of human
resources and development of a synchronous infrastructure system with a
focus on major urban infrastructure and transport networks.
It also sets 12 groups of major tasks in order to fulfill the goals set
by the development strategy for the next decade, he added.
The strategy aims to improve the efficiency of state management, push
through administrative reform, strengthen the Party’s leadership and
promote the people’s right to democracy in building up the state
apparatus, the PM said.
PM Dung said he hoped that
participants, including scientists and managers, as well as local and
international experts, would give opinions and suggestions to help
complete the draft strategy.
The event was organised by the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences in coordination with the World Bank./.
