The PM stated that, compared to the draft report before the Party Central Committee’s 10th session, many contents have been adjusted and updated, such as results of socio-economic development, with more specific and accurate data, growth directions, tasks, and goals, with a target of 8% in 2025 and double digits in the following years, development orientations and tasks focusing on science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and the need to consider the role of the private sector.

He requested that the draft report must adopt innovative, breakthrough thinking, methodologies, approaches, and practices, in alignment with the global and regional situations as well as the country's development requirements; and that the content must be more up-to-date, proposing new breakthroughs and drivers for development.

Chinh required sub-committee members to discuss and assess the situation accurately, proposing feasible, high-efficiency goals, tasks, and solutions, especially to achieve the two goals set for the country’s 100-year anniversary.

He suggested that they should discuss and reach a consensus on the content, continue to refine the draft socio-economic report to present to the Politburo. After receiving the Politburo's feedback, the report should be finalised and submitted to the Party Central Committee for presentation at its session in early April./.
