According to the orientation of the Party and National Assembly by 2025, Vietnam will become a developing country which will have a modernity-oriented industry, surpass the lower-middle-income level, and achieve an annual average GDP growth rate of about 6.5-7 percent.
To that end, the MPI said that the program needs to come up with specific solutions associated with accompanying resources, and in accordance with the capacity of the economy, and the state budget balance.
