The Government’s regular meeting – December
2009
On January 4-5, 2009, the Government convened its regular meeting of
December to discuss and decide the following issues:
1. The Government shared its comments on the reports on socio-economic
situations in December and the whole year of 2009, economic predictions of the
world and the country in the time to come presented by the Minister of Planning
and Investment; on the Government’s performance and the realization of the Working
Statutes 2009 and the agenda for 2010 presented by the Minister-Chairman of the
Government Office; on compilation and submission of laws and ordinances in the
fourth quarter and the whole year of 2009 presented by the Minister of Justice;
on Việt Nam’s implementation of international commitments and agreements in
2009 presented by the Minister of Foreign Affairs; on inspection work, tackling
accusations and claims, and anti-corruption in December and the whole year of
2009 presented by the Chief Inspector; and on administrative reforms in 2009
and central tasks in 2010 presented by the Minister of Home Affairs.
The Government agreed
that, in 2009, amidst complicated situations of the global financial crisis and
economic recession, the Government stuck to the realities, map out right
targets and tasks, made timely decisions which were enforced in a drastic,
flexible and creative way, and highlighted its responsibility to the Party,
National Assembly and citizens, made full use of aggregate strength of the whole-people
solidarity, striving best to fulfill the set targets and tasks.
The Government’s direction and governance continued to be renewed,
focusing on the core tasks of preventing economic recession, recovering growth,
maintaining macro-economic stability, and ensuring social security while being
conducted systematically and synchronously to realize general targets as well
as specific norms, tasks and solutions of the socio-economic development plan in
2009. At the same time, the Government had to resolve many unexpected and
urgent tasks effectively.
The Government performed well in line with the principles of
concentration and democracy, highlighting the collective role of the entire Government
and personal responsibility of the Prime Minister and other Government members.
The Government worked in a united manner, obeyed the Constitution and laws,
took high sense of responsibility to the Party, the National Assembly and citizens, observed Resolutions and
Conclusions of the Party Central Committee, the Politburo and the National
Assembly; closely cooperated with the National Assembly’s agencies, the Việt
Nam Fatherland Front and mass organizations, mobilized the aggregate strength
of the whole political system to implement tasks. The Government members
intensified inspection, removed difficulties and obstacles for localities;
directed effectively the realization of the set tasks.
Therefore, we initially prevented economic recession,
maintained a reasonable growth rate, macroeconomic stability and social security.
Positive and important socio-economic results
were seen: GDP growth rate reached 5.32%, in which industry and construction sector
increased 5.52%, services 6.63%, and agro-forestry and fisheries 1.83%. Investment
capital mobilized for development increased 15.3% as high as that in 2008,
counting for 42.8% of GDP. Inflation was controlled. The budget collection still
came up to expectation despite of difficult situation. Social security was
brought to notice and social security policies were carried out effectively,
especially the Program on rapid and sustainable poverty reduction in 62 poorest
districts nationwide, so the poverty rate was further cut down. Education-training,
healthcare, culture-information, science-technology, sports and environment
protection were promoted, with many positive results. Diplomatic work was conducted
actively and synchronously to improve the country’s prestige in the international
arena; national defense and security were maintained, socio-political stability
ensured. Administrative reforms were sped up and the Project of simplifying
administrative procedures was fruitfully implemented. Inspection, settlement of
accusations and complaints, and anti-corruption, thrift practice and anti-prodigality
were enhanced through many drastic solutions in order to bring about specific
results. The aforesaid achievements created new impetus and strength for the
fulfillment of tasks in 2010 and the following years while improving people’s
confidence in the cause of national renovation.
However, the
Government’s performance in 2009 still revealed weaknesses. Instructions to the
implementation of some mechanisms and policies were not detailed and timely
enough; policy responses in managing the foreign exchange market, gold market, and
the real estate market were still slow; many socio-economic burning issues were
not solved quickly; not many renovations were seen in designing and implementing
plans in order to satisfy development demands; there remained improper issues
in decentralizing State management, without corrections; efficiency of the collaboration
in dealing with assignments was low; administrative discipline in some
ministries and localities were not obeyed seriously. Many documents were not
issued timely in order to instruct the enforcement of laws and ordinances. Although
gaining important results, administrative reforms did not come up to citizens’
expectation. No breakthrough was created in combating and preventing corruption
and prodigality.
In 2010, we will still face socio-economic difficulties and
challenges while welcoming certain advantages and opportunities to regain a higher
growth rate than in 2009. Based on general targets and socio-economic
development norms approved by the 12th
National Assembly at its 6th sitting session, the Government promulgated
a Resolution on major solutions to direct and govern the implementation of the
socio-economic development and budget estimate plans in 2010, focusing on: economic
recovery and restructuring, increasing the quality of growth; consolidating macroeconomic
stability, preventing the recurrence of high inflation; ensuring social security
and welfare; pushing up development and improving quality of education-training
and science-technology; promoting environment protection, preventing
calamities, coping with climate change; bettering healthcare and people’s cultural
and spiritual life; maintaining national defense and security, social order and
safety; boosting diplomatic work; strengthening efficiency of State management,
promote administrative reforms, anti-corruption, thrift practice and anti-prodigality.
To implement the above-mentioned solutions, the Government requires
that:
- Each and every Government member proves their
responsibility to the Party, the State and people, strictly follow resolutions of
the Party and the National Assembly and seriously observe the Government’s
directions, focus on their respective competence;
- Ministers and Chiefs of
agencies personally direct and take responsibility for constructing institutions,
minimizing infeasible, behind-schedule and low-quality projects; accelerate the
compilation and submission of bills, ordinances, and legal documents
instructing the enforcement of those laws and ordinances;
- To carry out assignments in a drastic, flexible and
creative way, with timely adjustments if necessary; to do specific calculations
in realizing socio-economic development targets reasonably to achieve the best results;
- To clearly define functions,
tasks, and responsibility of each agency, organization and individual; to create
breakthroughs in the coordination of these entities while realizing tasks and
goals in line with legal regulations; to consider national and people’s
benefits the top target when carrying out public affairs;
- To deal with urgent issues while solving mid and long-term
targets such as economic restructuring, institutional construction, infrastructure
development, training human resources and science-technology development;
- To closely follow the real situations, update information,
sharpen ability of analyzing and predicting situations to set out proper targets,
tasks and solutions; to promote application of information technology and administrative
reforms; to renovate the working style and information work; to strengthen
inspection and supervision over the implementation of policies and solutions,
to improve efficiency of State management;
- To create a high consensus in the entire political system and
society; to effectively conduct information and propagation work by timely
providing people and corporate with information while taking their feedback and
comments on mechanisms and policies on investment, business and public welfare.
Press management agencies should direct mass media to give accurate information
in the interest of the country and people as well as in favor of the
Government’s performance.
Based on opinions given by attendants to this meeting and
the Meeting on implementing the socio-economic development and budget estimate plans
in 2010, the Government assigns:
- The Ministry of Planning and Investment to quickly finalize
the Government’s draft resolution on major solutions to direct the realization of
the socio-economic development and budget estimate plan in 2010 and submit the
resolution to the Prime Minister;
- The Office of Government to complete the Report on the
Government’s performance and the application of the working statutes in 2009
and the Government’s working agenda in 2010, then submit it to the Prime
Minister for consideration before sending to ministries, ministerial and Governmental,
agencies, provincial-level People’s Councils and People’s Committees for implementation.
