In his opening remarks, Prime Minister Le Minh Hung tasked ministries and agencies to conduct thorough review of existing shortcomings, obstacles and bottlenecks, particularly in administrative reform and institutional development.
Delays in issuing legal documents, decrees and circulars could slow the institutionalization and implementation of major policies, he said.
The Government chief urged ministries and sectors to accelerate the completion of outstanding legal documents and strengthen accountability among officials responsible for legislative and institutional affairs.

Regarding socio-economic development, the Prime Minister said macroeconomic stability has been maintained and inflation remains under control over the past five months.
Le, however, pointed out that growth in several sectors failed to meet expectations, while industrial production, agriculture, trade, services, exports and imports in some areas remain below target.
He requested ministries and agencies to identify the root causes of these shortcomings and propose stronger, more effective policy measures. Based on the meeting's conclusions, the Government will issue a resolution outlining specific tasks and solutions to boost growth in the remaining months of the year.
Le also announced that Deputy Prime Ministers will work directly with ministries, localities and sectors to address bottlenecks against production and business activities. Particular focus will be placed on industry, agriculture, exports and key export products showing signs of slowing growth or decline.
Regarding the implementation of Politburo's Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation, dated December 22, 2024, the Government leader commended the innovative approaches adopted by relevant agencies, particularly the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Science and Technology.
He stressed the need to continue improving institutions and policy frameworks, developing digital infrastructure and data resources, and creating favorable conditions for science, technology, innovation and digital transformation to become new drivers of economic growth./.
