Head of the Party Central Committee's Economic Commission Tran Tuan Anh said the resolution is a lodestar to concretize the Party’s guidelines stated in the documents of the 13^th National Party Congress, as well as socio-economic development strategy in the 2021-2030 period. He added that it creates momentum for national industrialization and modernization.

“First, it is essential to clarify the concept of national industrialization and modernization as a comprehensive and extensive social and economic transformation based on industrial and service development based on science and technology and creativity. National industrialization and modernization is considered a key task in Vietnam’s national socio-economic development strategy, building an independent, self-reliant economy in combination with proactive and active international integration, and aiming to make Vietnam a developed country with high income by 2045."

"Second, we need to stress the Party’s viewpoint, which considers national industrialization and modernization a cause of all people and the whole political system."

"Finally, it is necessary to exploit and bring into full play all the potentials and advantages of each locality and area and transform from manual work and assembling to designing and manufacturing in Vietnam. We also need to focus on developing high-tech services and promoting industrial services,” he said. 

Mr. Anh stressed the need to work out specific steps for national industrialization and modernization, including identifying prioritized sectors for development, active international integration, promoting a start-up spirit and creativity, and bringing into full play the vanguard role of Vietnam’s intellectuals and entrepreneurs.
