Urgently complete the socio-economic development report to submit to the Central Committee Conference

On September 6, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, the Politburo met to give opinions on the Draft Report on the assessment of 5 years of implementing the 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy (2021-2030), and the directions and tasks for socio-economic development in the 5 years (2026-2030).

After listening to the representative of the 14th Party Congress's Socio-Economic Subcommittee presenting the draft Report, the Politburo focused on discussing and basically reaching agreement on the major and important policies and viewpoints in the draft Report. Concluding the meeting, General Secretary and President To Lam emphasized that the 14th Party Congress's Socio-Economic Subcommittee had seriously absorbed the opinions of the Party Central Committee members at the 9th Conference of the Party Central Committee, studied a number of specialized topics on important and key areas; studied the contents of the Central Committee's and the Politburo's resolutions to include in the draft Report; promptly updated the contents to ensure consistency between the two Reports with the principle that the Political Report is the center and the Socio-Economic Report is a specialized report.

General Secretary and President To Lam noted that the implementation of the Strategy takes place in the context of complex and unprecedented developments in the world and in the country, with heavier impacts than forecast. Our country is deeply affected by unfavorable factors from the external environment, especially the COVID-19 pandemic and military conflicts in the regions.

In that situation, we still achieved many important, outstanding, and quite comprehensive results, basically completing the set goals. Our country is classified as an emerging industrial country, surpassing the lower middle income level. The human development index has improved, creating a foundation for higher development in the next period.

Based on the viewpoints and development goals, General Secretary and President To Lam requested that the Report should clarify the main tasks and solutions to continue perfecting the development institution, improving the quality of the socialist-oriented market economic institution; strongly developing science, technology, innovation and digital transformation; continuing to fundamentally, comprehensively, effectively and substantially innovate education and training; promoting industrialization, modernization, and restructuring the economy associated with growth model innovation; developing synchronous infrastructure; developing culture, ensuring social progress and equity; effectively managing and using resources; protecting the environment; consolidating and strengthening national defense, ensuring national security, improving the effectiveness of foreign affairs; international integration, ensuring social order and safety; promoting the building of a socialist rule-of-law state.

The Politburo requested the 14th Party Congress's Socio-Economic Subcommittee to urgently complete the Report on the assessment of 5 years of implementing the 10-year Socio-Economic Development Strategy (2021-2030), the directions and tasks for socio-economic development in 5 years (2026-2030) to submit to the 10th Conference of the 13th Party Central Committee./.
