Prime Minister has approved a plan for Vietnam's integration into the ASEAN Statistics system in the 2016-2020 period. According to the plan's general targets by 2020, Vietnam's statistics system will integrate comprehensively with the ASEAN system. 
The plan aims to develop Vietnam's statistics system in order to meet the basic requirements of the regional statistics system and become one of the developed statistics systems in ASEAN. 
By 2016, Vietnam will establish a mechanism to provide and share information among domestic statistics agencies and organisations. Vietnam's General Statistics Office, under the Ministry of Planning and Investment, will provide Vietnam's statistical data to the ASEAN statistics system.
