The 16th National Assembly on Friday adopted the five-year socio-economic development plan for 2026-2030 at its first working session.

Under the plan, Viet Nam targets to become one of the world's top 30 economies in terms of GDP size by 2030, while the country's business environment is projected to rank 3rd in ASEAN and 30th globally.
