The top leader made that above statement while addressing the Cabinet meeting that took place in Ha Noi on July 4.
The Government must implement a special action program for the remaining six months of the year, he noted, asking for strengthening the leading role of public investment, unlocking private investment, and enhancing the capacity of domestic enterprises.
The leader underlined the need to safeguard export markets, reduce dependence, and strengthen domestic industrial capabilities.
Compliance with standards on rules of origin, intellectual property, environmental protection and labor should be regarded as a matter of economic security, stressed To.
It is necessary to establish an early warning mechanism and provide support for businesses in handling trade remedy cases, ensuring product traceability, meeting green standards, and preventing origin fraud, told the leader.
Viet Nam should diversify export markets, sources of supply, transport routes, and investment partners, while developing the domestic market.
He proposed prioritizing the development of supporting industries, mechanical engineering and manufacturing, electronics, new materials, digital technologies, data, artificial intelligence (AI), and energy technologies.
Meanwhile, priorities should be given to foreign direct investment (FDI) projects that bring advanced technologies, establish linkages with Vietnamese enterprises, provide workforce training, and facilitate technology transfer.
According to the top leader, it is vital to ensure security in energy, food, water resources, data, and digital sovereignty while improving institutions and the business environment, as well as ensuring the smooth and effective operation of the two-tier local government system.
He reiterated the importance of promoting cultural and social development and human development, ensuring that all people benefit from the country's development achievements.
To requested to continue strengthening national defense and security capabilities while firmly safeguarding political security, social order, and public safety while resolutely preventing and combating corruption, wastefulness, and other negative practices.
