Pointing out weaknesses in the field of ministriesand agencies, Chinh said they have yet to invest much in the statistical workand bring into full play statistics.

The PM also noted other shortcomings regarding coordinationbetween agencies, human resources and management.

He, therefore, underlined the need to raise theawareness of the statistical work for the entire political system, especially leadersof all-level authorities, and ordered them to improve personnel quality, pour moreinvestment in the statistical sector, step up coordination between ministries andagencies, and enhance international cooperation in this regard.
Foreign participants proposed solutions to help the Vietnamese statistical sector better integrate into the region and the world.
