Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung said at a Dec. 29 that greatest efforts and drastic measures are needed to implement socio-economic tasks next year.
Summing up discussions at a video conference between the Government and local administrations, the PM required that all ministries, sectors and localities continue to focus their attention on removing obstacles and creating favourable conditions for production and trade and accelerating economic restructuring.
“Economic growth is the centerpiece of our policy. The Government’s objective is to support businesses and resolve issues that are hindering growth. This resolution must be reflected in practical changes,” he said.
At the same time, the PM called for tighter control on the State Budget to ensure effective public investment and prevention of waste.
“Regarding public investment, we all know there is wasteful spending in many areas, and it has to stop. Tax money should be invested effectively,” he said.
PM Dung also emphasised an important task which is to continue improving people’s living standards and social security, especially through better provision of health care, education and jobs.
In light of the upcoming New Year and Tet holidays, the PM urged ministries and localities to plan their working schedule in advance to ensure that administrations and other operations run smoothly, especially at taxation, customs, import and export offices.
He also ordered ministries and localities to improve their communication with the media by providing truthful, accurate information in a proactive and timely manner.
Public confidence in the Government is of crucial importance if the country is to fulfil its socio-economic development tasks and achieve its objectives in the years to come, the PM said in conclusion.-VNA
