The nation-wide rate of poor households is forecast to fall 1.7-2 percent and roughly 1.6 million jobs will be created.
According to the resolution, these targets were approved by the National Assembly,
To do that, the resolution asks for strengthening macro-economic stability by clearing business hurdles, going forward with strategic breakthroughs and economic restructuring in tandem with shifting to a new growth model and improving the national economy’s competitiveness.
More attention is to be paid to the development of socio-cultural life, education, science-technology, environment protection and public well-being, the acceleration of administrative and judicial reforms, especially the fight against corruption and wastefulness.
The government has set to strengthen defense-security, firmly safeguard national sovereignty, and ensure political security and social order.
It will also improve external relations work and continue the path of international integration and cooperation.
