Tran Tuan Anh, chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission,told a recent conference that while there has been some improvement in these areas,their potential has not been fulfilled while the training of workforce neededfor them do not take into account the latest technological development.

The country still has to rely on imports of intermediate goods, he said.

Minister of Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Dat said demand for them frommanufacturers is rising, but local firms struggle to satisfy it.

Developing a skilled workforce that can help the country satisfy its demand forindustrialisation and modernisation is important, he said.

Duong Anh Duc, deputy chairman of the Ho Chi Minh City People’s Committee, saidthe city offers loans for hi-tech projects in key industries and fullysubsidises the interest, and pays close attention to training.

The Party Central Committee’s Economic Commission has been tasked withrecommending industrialisation and modernisation policies by next year,including for developing a workforce for the intermediate industry.

The country aims to become a developing country with a modernised industry andmedium high income by 2030./.
