NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man called for close collaboration among relevant agencies to refine the draft, aiming to enhance the efficiency of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) and achieve breakthroughs in their management. He called for wage reform to ensure a decent standard of living for SOE workers while boosting competitiveness to attract skilled talent. Additionally, he urged clearer regulations on equitisation and divestment to prevent the loss of state assets.
