This is a necessary step in the context of Vietnamese sports increasingly integrating deeply with the region and the world, requiring stronger and more comprehensive investment in human resources to maintain and improve achievements.

Speaking at the conference, Deputy Minister Hoang Dao Cuong affirmed that current policies under Decree 152/2018/ND-CP and Decree 36/2019/ND-CP have contributed to creating great motivation for coaches and athletes to confidently dedicate themselves and contribute to the impressive achievements of Vietnamese sports.

Notably, the leading position at the last two SEA Games. Especially the first time topping the away field at the 33rd SEA Games. However, the Deputy Minister also pointed out the shortcomings that have been revealed after 7 years of implementation, including gaps and overlapping policies, not fully meeting the practical needs as well as the expectations of raising the level of Vietnam's top sports in arenas such as the Asian Games or the Olympics.

The regime for coaches and athletes will be improved after the Decree is passed.

The development of a new Decree is identified as an urgent task, aiming to synchronously, comprehensively and clearly adjust policies on salary, bonus, nutrition, insurance, post-retirement vocational training, medical care... for coaches, athletes and sports medical staff.

The draft aims to create a solid legal corridor, ensure legitimate rights, improve material and spiritual life, as well as create a transparent legal foundation for policies to be effectively implemented in practice.

Besides, this is also a step to concretize the major policies of the Party and State on developing sports human resources in the new period - gradually realizing the Strategy for developing Vietnam's sports to 2030, vision 2045.
