The NA leader highlighted the 6.37 percent growth of processing-manufacturing and the 23 percent surge in import-export revenue year on year to 670 billion USD in 2021, making Vietnam one of the world top 20 economies with biggest trade scale.
He also recognised the contribution of the sector in the signing of many new-generation free trade agreements, including the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP), the Vietnam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA) and the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Pointing out challenges forecast in 2022, NA Chairman Hue asked the sector to apply drastic measures to flexibly and safely adapt to COVID-19 and boost economic recovery, including early issuing a plan of action to implement the NA’s Resolution 43/2022/QH15 on fiscal and monetary policies to support the socio-economic recovery programme as well as the Government’s Resolution No. 11/NQ-CP on socio-economic recovery and development.
Noting that the NA will conduct a supervision programme over the implementation of the Planning Law in 2022, he requested the MoIT to speed up the revision of strategies and plans under its management.
The NA leader also reminded the MoIT to pay greater attention to Party building and the studying and following of President Ho Chi Minh’s ideology, lifestyle and moral example.
