The 13th National Party Congress, underway in Hanoi from January 25 to February 2, marks an important milestone in the development of Vietnam’s Party and is expected to accelerate national renovation, development, and international integration.

The public has confidence that decisions issued by the congress will create breakthroughs in Vietnam’s development.

The congress will discuss the Party’s political report, review the 2011-20 socio-economic development strategy, and develop a ten-year socio-economic development strategy until 2030. It will also elect the Party Central Committee for the 2021-26 tenure.

Dr. Nguyen Huu Dung, the former director of Institute of Science, Labor and Social Affairs under the Ministry of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, expressed his belief that social welfare will cover every citizen under the drastic instructions of the Party.

The social insurance and health insurance have become the main pillar in the social welfare system, with over 90% of the population enrolling in health insurance, Dr. Dung said, adding that these achievements have proved the Party’s correct policy, the strong involvement of the party’s committee and authorities at all levels in its implementation.

"Vietnam has set the target to become a developed country with high middle income by 2030, we expect that the direction will be translated into specific views, directions and tasks at the 13th congress," said Dr. Dung.

Besides, the country’s education and training need to be continuously innovated in an open and flexible way to improve the quality of human resources as well as meeting the requirements of the industrial revolution 4.0, Dr. Dung added.

He noted that the labor market should be developed, urban unemployment rate needs to be kept below 4% and agricultural employment would account for less than 25% of all jobs by 2025.
