Summarizing the outstanding socio -economic achievements of the past term, the Head of the Central Policy and Strategy Committee stated that the context for the coming period will undergo epoch-making changes, creating many opportunities and advantages, as well as significant difficulties and challenges.

Vietnam's economy achieved many important accomplishments during the 2021-2025 period, with 22 out of 26 key socio-economic indicators meeting or exceeding targets.

Head of the Central Committee's Policy and Strategy Department, Nguyen Thanh Nghi, presented a specialized topic.

He stated that the 14th Party Congress outlined five groups of guiding principles for national construction and development in the new phase.

According to Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nghi , the overall goal set out in the Congress resolution is for Vietnam to become a developing country with modern industry and high middle income by 2030; and to realize the vision of becoming a developed country with high income by 2045.

"From the socio-economic development goals and targets set by the 14th National Congress as outlined in the Resolution, it is clear that these are all very high, difficult, and challenging goals and targets, but they reflect a great aspiration for development, are an objective requirement, and serve as a measure of the nation's resilience, will, and aspirations," Mr. Nguyen Thanh Nghi emphasized.
