Hanoi (VNA) - The Government and the Prime Minister accomplished all eight tasks assigned by the Constitution during the 2021–2026 tenure, said Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh.

Addressing the 10th session of the 15th National Assembly on October 20, Binh reported that the Government and the PM had implemented 116 action programmes and plans to effectively implement the Constitution, laws, and resolutions and conclusions of the Party and the NA, while supervising the implementation of tasks across all sectors.

In the last five years, the PM and Deputy PMs conducted over 400 working trips to localities and grassroots units to inspect the implementation of the Constitution and laws, and resolve difficulties, thus helping localities unlock development resources, ensure compliance with the Constitution and laws, and promote socio-economic development, national defence, security, and foreign affairs.

The Government has renewed its mindset in lawmaking, proposing laws with growth-oriented policies to strengthen the socialist rule-of-law state and socialist-oriented market economy, removing legal bottlenecks, the Deputy PM said, adding that a total of 180 laws and ordinances, along with 1,400 resolutions and 820 decrees, have been issued.

He highlighted notable achievements in economic management, culture, society, environment, national defence and security, and foreign affairs, particularly in maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, managing natural resources, protecting the environment, preventing disasters, responding to climate change, and implementing national target programmes.

Vietnam’s foreign affairs and international integration have reached new heights with significant achievements, while stalled projects and loss-making enterprises have been addressed, freeing up resources for development.

The report emphasised accomplishments in managing national administrative system, civil servants and public employees, inspecting and handling complaints and denunciations, combating corruption and wastefulness, and safeguarding the rights and interests of the State, society, and citizens.

The Deputy PM stated that despite unprecedented challenges, the Government acted with unity and determination, fulfilling its assigned tasks and achieving remarkable results, thereby reinforcing public trust and providing the momentum, resources, and solid foundation for the country to pursue sustainable development and enter a new era.

To realise the two strategic goals of becoming a developing country with modern industry and high middle income by 2030, and a high-income developed country with a socialist orientation by 2045, the Government and the PM will continue directing efforts to address limitations, and fully accomplish all set objectives and targets.

Attention will be paid to improving and streamlining the organisational structure of the two-tier local government system, accelerating administrative reform and enhancing the quality of online public services, and promoting high growth, while maintaining macroeconomic stability, controlling inflation, and ensuring key economic balances.

The country will continue to promote industrialisation, modernisation, and economic restructuring, with breakthroughs in science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, and develop modern and synchronised infrastructure facilities, while strengthening foreign affairs and international integration.

The focus will be put on economic diplomacy, and fully leveraging Vietnam’s role, position, and prestige to build and develop the country, according to the Deputy PM./.
