The Prime Minister emphasized that national unity is a very important fulcrum to serve national interests and create strength.

In addition, the Prime Minister analyzed three important strategic breakthroughs identified in the previous term, including infrastructure, human resources, and institutions. However, the new requirement is to raise the level of breakthroughs, clarify the content, increase efficiency, and increase the strength for economic development.

Ministries and localities need to be proactive in building institutions.

Regarding strategic infrastructure, the Prime Minister said that the last term saw more investment than the previous term, focusing on building highways, roads and the upcoming North-South high-speed railway. However, more importantly, local ministries and sectors need to be proactive in institutional development.

For example, in the previous term, no locality was assigned to do the project, but now this task has been assigned and the locality has made rapid progress, confidently doing it like An Giang (old), or Dak Lak, Khanh Hoa.

Therefore, in implementing the upcoming railway project, he thoroughly adhered to the viewpoint of assigning localities to work with the central government, attracting private investment capital, and public-private partnership. This is done on the basis of increasing decentralization, allocating resources, increasing supervision and inspection, and improving implementation capacity.

Along with that, infrastructure development also attracts public-private partnerships to do bigger things. For example, Phu Quoc airport and Gia Binh airport have been assigned to the private sector. Because according to him, infrastructure investment requires huge resources, without a mechanism to attract public-private and private sectors, it cannot be done.

Along with that, inland waterway infrastructure, such as the development of waterway infrastructure in the Mekong Delta, will build planning and ports along the rivers to reduce logistics costs which currently account for 17-18% of GDP, while other countries' is 11-12%.

Regarding growth promotion, the Prime Minister said it is necessary to link scale, sustainable development, macroeconomic stability, inflation control, and ensure major balances of the economy such as expenditure, public debt, repayable loans, and revenue must cover expenditure.

Accordingly, macroeconomic stability is the driving force for growth, not just the traditional driving force, associated with traditional driving forces including investment, consumption and export, and new driving forces such as digital economy and green economy.

Through his research on many countries and territories such as South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan (China), he believes that there needs to be a breakthrough in growth, combining rapid and sustainable growth. If other countries grow by 9-10%, we must also grow by 9-10% to shorten the gap.

Acknowledging that setting a high growth target is very difficult, especially when the country is experiencing challenges due to natural disasters and floods in the North and Central regions, the Prime Minister affirmed that we have room to do so.

"Despite the pressure, we still have to do it. The more pressure our people have, the more effort they make; the more difficulties they face, the more innovations they come up with. If we are satisfied with an average growth rate of 6-7%, and that is enough growth, then we can take it easier. But setting an 8% growth target is creating pressure for the whole system to make efforts," the Prime Minister emphasized.

He also added that the whole world must take growth as its goal because when there is growth, the size of the economy, per capita income, productivity will increase and thereby improve people's lives. Therefore, the growth target of 10% by 2030 has been carefully calculated, so that the size of the economy reaches 800 billion to nearly 1,000 billion USD, which will help us catch up with other countries faster.

Changing thinking about institutional reform and management of two-level government operations

In law-making, according to the Prime Minister, this is the driving force, resource and competitiveness of the economy. Therefore, not only focusing on management, but also changing the mindset associated with practice. The mindset is not management or if you cannot manage, then ban.

For example, he said that he had just held a meeting to develop 8 decrees on financial centers, which required a lot of innovation, because when we come later, there must be competition. Or in implementing investment projects, the most difficult part is site clearance, especially resettlement, so compensation must be appropriate. But this cannot be done in a day or two, so there must be a temporary residence policy, appropriate prices, and harmony of interests between people, businesses and the state.

Or in the mechanism of designated bidding, he said that it needs to be boldly implemented, rather than bidding but in fact it is just legalization. The important thing is that designated bidding needs to be impartial, transparent and effective, and officials dare to take responsibility for implementation.

Regarding the operation of the two-level government from July 1 to now, the Prime Minister assessed that it has been a success, helping to reorganize the country. We have moved from management to creation and serving the people, based on digital transformation.

However, with the apparatus that has been formed for 80 years, with the motto of not being perfectionist, not being hasty, but also not missing opportunities, the Prime Minister believes that we need to complete the functions, tasks and powers and from there form a suitable apparatus, associated with building job positions, arranging staff and making policies for staff.

The head of the Government acknowledged that grassroots cadres have a lot of work to do but are not uniform in their management knowledge, legal knowledge, assigned professional knowledge, and digital transformation skills. This problem has some places doing well in some aspects, but some places are not doing well, leading to a "mixed" and uneven situation. Reality requires classifying teams and units to have professional training linked to practical needs.
