Applauding the WB’s cooperation and assistance for Viet Nam in the recent times, PM Dung revealed that Viet Nam is launching its socio-economic development plan in 2014 and facing a number of challenges.

This year, Viet Nam indentifies to strengthen macro-economic stability, control inflation, tackle difficulties, create favorable conditions for production, and accelerate economic restructuring to achieve a higher growth rate than in 2013 and guarantee social security and welfare, he added.

The nation will realize long and mid-term missions synchronously, establish a State ruled by law, bring into full play the democratic rights of people and complete the socialist oriented market economy, stressed PM Dung.

The WB Country Director spoke of the achievements made by Viet Nam in 2013.
