Economic institutional innovation is a priority task.

At the discussion session, delegate Bui Quang Vinh, member of the Party Central Committee and Minister of Planning and Investment, said that looking back at the country's achievements and results in recent times, "they are very impressive, but not yet satisfactory."

Minister Bui Quang Vinh said: In the past, Vietnam's economic position could be said to be the top in the region, but currently, our country's GDP per capita is only at 1/5 of the world average, equal to 1/3 of neighboring Thailand.

In the current context, Vietnam has very little time left and does not have many traditional advantages such as population structure, resources, and cheap labor. Therefore, "improving competitiveness is a mandatory requirement if we want to escape current limitations and weaknesses," Minister Bui Quang Vinh suggested.

Minister Bui Quang Vinh hopes that innovation and institutional reform, from politics, state management and especially economic institutional innovation, must be considered a priority, based on three pillars. Specifically, prosperity must go hand in hand with sustainable development and environmental protection, focusing on promoting domestic enterprises, promoting the spirit of entrepreneurship and innovation; creating fairness and equal integration for everyone, ensuring the rights of disadvantaged and vulnerable groups in development, considering this the superiority of the socialist orientation; enhancing the capacity and accountability of the State, institutions must have people's supervision, creating a legal framework to promote citizens' rights and information rights.
