On March 1, Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung, Chairman of the Central Council for Emulation and Reward chaired the council’s 41st session to review emulation and reward activities in 2010 and devise tasks and solutions for 2011.

Last year, emulation movements were closely attached to the implementation of political tasks which greatly contributed to stabilising the macroeconomy, maintaining economic growth and ensuring social welfare.

In addition, the campaign for “Studying and following late President Ho Chi Minh’s moral example” and movements to practise thrift and prevent wastefulness were implemented across the country and achieved practical results.

In his speech, PM Dung spoke highly of opinions given by council members as well as effective contributions from emulation movements and emphasised that the 2011 emulation movements need to focus on socio-economic development to stabilise the national economy and ensure social welfare.

Mr Dung also underlined the need to create specific regulations on emulation and reward activities to develop exemplary role models for production.
