The 13th Party Central Committee (Photo: VNA) - The freshly-concluded 13th National Congress of the
Communist Party of Vietnam has set forth a comprehensive strategy of turning
Vietnam into a developed country in the next 25 years, a Vietnamese professor
in the US has said.
Prof. Tran Ngoc
Anh from Indiana University Bloomington and Director of the Vietnam Initiative told the Vietnam News Agency on February 1 that the key to the strategy lies with
the responsibility-related mechanism.
A minister must be
responsible for his ministry’s performance and a provincial leader must take responsibility
for the implementation of tasks in his or her locality, he explained.
Their performance
needs to be assessed objectively and publicly, he added.
Over the past five
years, according to the professor, Vietnam completed three major tasks: maintaining
macro stability and stable politics, signing many free trade agreements, and strongly
supporting enterprises.
He also pointed
out three major challenges facing the country in the years to come: human
resources quality, institutional obstacles with overlapping regulations, and the
environment, with air pollution in the north, flooding in the central region,
and drought in the south.
Vietnam will have opportunities to penetrate into major markets as COVID-19 vaccines are administered
shortly around the world, he said./.
