He held that basically, the goals of Vietnam’s nationalmaster planning are suitable to the country’s growth targets until 2045.
However, in order to achieve the goals, there is still much forVietnam to do, he said, affirming that in this process, the WB is ready to workwith the NA of Vietnam and relevant ministries, sectors and agencies to give recommendationsto solve bottlenecks in the process of planning design and implementation.
In the consideration and approval of the planning, theNA of Vietnam should pay attention to the integration of indicators to measurethe progress of planning implementation, collect information on planningimplementation, and empower the overall supervisory agencies to handle arising problems,he advised.
Agreeing with the WB representative, Hai held that thebuilding of the national master planning is a tough and complicated task due toits large scale. Therefore, the NA of Vietnam hopes that in the coming time,the two sides will continue to strengthen cooperation and specify WB’s support toVietnam in the process of developing and completing the planning.
At the working session, the two sides agreed on WB’sassistance in organising the socio-economic forum in 2022. NA Vice Chairman Haiexpressed his hope that a WB representative will attend the event, with an official WB report on Vietnam’seconomic recovery prospect, which points out challenges and impacts of theglobal economy on Vietnam and recommendations for Vietnam, to be delivered atthe forum./.
