Enterprises’ sustainable development contributes to Vietnam's prosperity: PM

The sustainable development of the business community is an important foundation, contributing to the nation’s prosperity, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc told a meeting with outstanding Vietnamese entrepreneurs and intellectuals with the theme of “Dialogue 2045” in Ho Chi Minh City on March 6.

In his opening remarks, PM Phuc affirmed that entrepreneurs and intellectuals have made great contributions to the national development.

To stand shoulder to shoulder with powers around the world, Vietnam must have strong businesses and competitive brands at the regional and global levels, and competent human resources who can undertake great jobs of the country, he stressed.

To that end, it is necessary to free all resources and potential of and mobilise the strength of nearly 100 million Vietnamese people, including overseas Vietnamese, and at the same time attract and bring into full play international resources from integration and globalisation and from both direct and indirect investments, the PM stated.

According to the government leader, after more than 30 years of Doi moi (Renewal), Vietnam has achieved a lot of successes in all fields, particularly stable macro-economy, improved living standards of people, and their increasing trust in the leadership of the Party and the management of the State.

However, the country is still facing many challenges in its roadmap to become a developed country by 2045, he noted.

The Government leader asked all people to trust in the nation’s strength and in their endurance, and stay resolute to overcome any difficulties to gain brighter future.

That is the reason why the Government initiated and will regularly organise the “Dialogue 2045” programme to nurture confidence and consensus of all people to realise the goal of building a strong and prosperous country which is able to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with powers around the world in 2045 as set out in the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress, he said.

To achieve this goal, Chairman and CEO of Masan Group Nguyen Dang Quang suggested developing supply and distribution infrastructure synchronously, and quickly transforming into a digital economy.

Meanwhile, Truong Gia Binh, head of the board for private economic development studies under the Prime Minister’s Administrative Procedure Reform Advisory Council, stressed the importance of inspiring the desire to make the country strong and prosperous in each person and each entrepreneur.

The Government should believe in the business community and create favourable conditions for them to develop further, he added.

Nguyen Thi Phuong Thao, Chairwoman and CEO of Sovico Group, proposed the Government focus development on the private sector by supporting major private groups and promoting the development of small- and medium-sized enterprises, the rural and agricultural sector and start-ups.

Appreciating entrepreneurs’ proposals, PM Phuc assigned ministries, sectors and localities to concretize them into specific solutions to address issues.

In addition to economic development targets, he also stressed the role of the protection of the living environment and the preservation of culture and the spiritual values of the nation.
