Designing a strategy for the development of material industries supporting national industrialisation and modernisation from 2015-2020 is among the key tasks of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission for the rest of the year, as heard at a conference on July 28.

In the last six months of 2015, the commission will also focus on orientations for policies to boost Vietnam’s industries from 2016-2020, and on speeding up the industrialisation of the agriculture sector in association with the building of new-style rural areas.

Through studying the developments of the population, the commission will propose policies for the country’s sustainable growth and tourism improvement.

The commission plans to research scientific and practical factors for socio-economic expansion along the land border line.

At the same time, the commission will build policies to mobilise and enhance the efficiency of official development assistance and foreign preferential loans serving socio-economic growth for 2016-2020 and beyond.

The commission is also tasked with giving advice on policies for regional and cross-regional economic growth, as well as business type reform during the economic restructuring process.

It is also expected to propose specific policies for nuclear power projects and measures to conclude Trans-Pacific Partnership negotiations.

Along with assessing proposals on economics, the commission will also instruct and supervise the implementation of resolutions by the Party Central Committee, Politburo and Party Central Committee’s Secretariat, especially those on regional economic development.

Another major task for the commission is to continue contributing ideas to draft political reports at Party Congresses in provinces and cities and building draft documents for the 12th National Congress.-VNA
