Vietnamese Gov’t issues action plans for the period of 2016-2021
During the monthly cabinet meeting at the Government’s headquarters in Hanoi, Vietnamese Government has issued Resolution 100/NQ-CP on its action plan in the 2016-2021 term.
Speaking at the meeting, the Prime Minister focused on six major tasks, including the implementation of measures to reform the growth model and improve the quality of growth. The plan aims to streamline the Government, enhancing the quality of officials and public servants, while improving the material and spiritual life of people, settling urgent issues, ensuring social welfare and speeding up sustainable poverty reduction. 
It affirms the government’s determination in struggling for national independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity, ensuring political security and social order and safety, and increasing the efficiency of external relations with active international integration, maintaining an environment of peace and stability to create favourable conditions for national development.
The plan highlights the need to simplify the Government structure towards building a constructive Government of purity, strength and integrity, which serves the people and aims to create favourable conditions for business and investment activities.
The government will concentrate on developing people’s morality, lifestyle, knowledge and capacity, according to the plan. Cabinet members will be responsible to the Party, State and people for their assigned tasks, it said, clarifying individuals’ responsibility in specific tasks.
The plan also defines the strengthening of industrialisation and modernisation in line with the fourth industrial revolution, with a focus on modernising and industrialising agriculture along with building new-style rural areas.
The Government asked Ministers and heads of minister-level agencies and other Government agencies as well as leaders of localities to build their own plans of action for the whole period and each year, while reviewing, adjusting and supplementing policies and planning to be submitted to the Government and the Prime Minister throughout the Government’s 2016-2020 tenure.
The document defined six major tasks for the Government, including:
(1) streamlining the Government’s organizational structure and building a staff, especially officials at the strategic level, with sufficient capacity and quality to meet the requirements of their positions;
(2) renovating the growth model; raising growth quality, labor productivity and competitiveness of the economy;

(5) persistently safeguarding national independence, sovereignty, integrity; ensuring political security, order, social safety, maintaining peaceful environment, stability, and creating favorable conditions for national development;
(6) promoting information tasks
The resolution stated that streamlining the Government’s apparatus should be in line with building a clean and strong Government with integrity that takes decisive action, serves the people and businesses, creates a favorable environment for investment and business operations and promotes democracy, as well as enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of its operations and stepping up the fight against corruption, wastefulness and bureaucracy.
Each Government official should be responsible before the Party, State and people for assigned tasks while fully implementing the tasks and powers specified in the Constitution and laws and actively participating in the Government’s collective work under the Government Regulations.
