Party Central Committee closes second meeting

In his closing remarks, Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong said that the Committee generally agreed with the draft working agenda for the 12th tenure, saying that it covers important issues with a view to successfully realising the Resolution adopted by the 12th National Party Congress. On the 2016-2020 socio-economic development plan, the Party leader said the Committee gave the nod to proposals mentioned in the government’s report and offered more suggestions to the scheme to submit to the 13th National Assembly’s 11th session for adoption.

According to Party General Secretary Trong, participants underscored the need to prioritise investments in agriculture, farmers, and rural areas; overhaul the public administration sector and administrative procedures; and improve the business environment. Building and realising the five-year public investment scheme will present a panorama of public projects and State budget balance between 2016-2020.

Participants also discussed and reached consensus on personnel arrangements for State agencies, in a bid to ensure the timely implementation of the Resolution adopted at the 12th National Party Congress. The Committee cast votes for nominees to such key positions as President, Prime Minister, and Chairman of the National Assembly. Thorough preparations will be made to successfully conduct the election of deputies to the 14th NA and People’s Councils at all levels for the 2016-2021 tenure, he reaffirmed.
