Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh opened the meeting, stating that we are nearing the end of three-quarters of the entire term. A review shows that many targets set by the 13th Party Congress will be met and exceeded, but there are also targets that require further acceleration and breakthrough to be achieved, such as GDP growth and labor productivity.
One of the solutions to accelerate and achieve breakthroughs, as mentioned by the Prime Minister, is to remove legal obstacles and perfect the institutional framework. This includes enhancing decentralization, avoiding bureaucratic mechanisms, and reducing compliance costs for agencies, businesses, and citizens.
