Delegate Tran Hoang Ngan ( Ho Chi Minh City) affirmed that the Vietnamese people always have faith and aspiration to become a highly developed country, standing shoulder to shoulder with the world powers, confidently entering a new era with the Party. That solidarity and aspiration are demonstrated through the event of commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), the Great Celebration of the 80th anniversary of the successful August Revolution (August 19, 1945 - August 19, 2025), and the National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (September 2, 1945 - September 2, 2025).

"We must be bold and turn that aspiration into a specific goal: by 2045 we must become a developed country with high income and happy people," said delegate Ngan.

According to the delegate, achieving double-digit growth is completely feasible, the problem is how to implement solutions to achieve sustainable growth and avoid external shocks. Actual analysis over many years shows that when the world market is unstable, the domestic market is developing stably, it will face negative impacts. Problems such as epidemics or the world financial crisis also cause the country's growth target to decline.

Delegate Tran Hoang Ngan emphasized: "How to achieve high but sustainable growth is the goal we are aiming for. That means we must increase self-reliance and strengthen domestic strength."

In recent times, Vietnam’s economic growth has been significantly contributed by foreign investment. This is a necessary factor, but delegates believe that it is necessary to strengthen the role of the private economy for sustainable development.

"Recently, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 68-NQ/TW on private economic development; Resolution No. 198/2025/QH15 of the National Assembly on a number of special mechanisms and policies for private economic development. Thus, we must make efforts to institutionalize the Party's policies into specific actions to help the private economy, household economy, small and medium enterprises access social resources such as land, low-interest capital, business premises, high-quality human resources, etc. We must have extremely flexible mechanisms to promote the private economy, towards sustainable development," emphasized delegate Tran Hoang Ngan.

According to the delegate, currently, many goods our country has to import from abroad while it is completely possible to produce them ourselves. Therefore, it is necessary to create quality goods to meet the needs of Vietnamese people. In addition, an area that needs special attention is tourism development - a smokeless industry. The delegate emphasized that a country with political stability, macroeconomic stability, friendly people, and an ideal climate like Vietnam is very suitable for tourism development. For sustainable development, it is necessary to ensure security and order for tourists by building a tourist police force to protect tourists; eliminate the sale of fake goods at tourist destinations; and strengthen propaganda to make Vietnam's tourism a key economic sector.

Expressing his views on the economic growth target, delegate Pham Van Hoa (Dong Thap) said that a core issue for the country's economic development is to create all favorable conditions for the development of the private economy. According to the delegate, the more businesses are established, the more the labor needs of the people are met.

Besides, the delegate said that currently, the gap between rich and poor is increasing, the Government needs to pay more attention to social security policies such as housing, employment, education, health care... to ensure that the poor do not encounter difficulties in life.

One of the limitations that needs to be better resolved in the coming time, according to the delegate, is that the disbursement of national target programs is too slow, while these are the policies that people benefit from. The delegate affirmed that with the available foundation and overcoming the mentioned limitations, the GDP growth target of 10% or more is completely feasible.

Many National Assembly deputies agreed and said that public investment disbursement is still a major "bottleneck" and requested the Government to clarify the reasons for slow disbursement, especially for national target programs and ODA capital; at the same time, have specific solutions to achieve 100% of the capital plan for the year.

Opinions suggested that it is necessary to focus capital on strategic infrastructure and “leverage” projects to turn the situation around; and to strengthen post-allocation supervision to ensure investment efficiency. With the high determination of the entire political system, delegates affirmed that the 10% growth target by 2026 is completely achievable…
