Emphasizing the summary of 20 years of implementation of the Resolution of the 9th Party Central Committee’s fifth Plenum on continued renewing, developing and improving the efficiency of the collective economy, Mr Trong said: “I request the Party Central Committee and delegates to derive from practice, discuss and evaluate in an objective and scientific way the results and achievements and thoroughly analyze the limitations, weaknesses and causes. It’s imperative to closely follow the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and the country's reality, create a high consensus on the goals, viewpoints, guiding ideas and major tasks and solutions to make the collective economy grow stronger and truly become an important economic component of the socialist-oriented market economy in Vietnam.”
