However, Thanh expressed his concern over the growth rate of labour productivity in 2018 as it was lower than that of 2017.

According to him, the increase in labour productivity is caused by the shifting of the economic structure from agriculture to industry and services.

In Vietnam, it relies much on the shifting of the economic structure from agriculture to services, which means that the labour market has yet to develop synchronously, he noted.

The lack of skilled laborers is also a big challenge for Vietnam during the international integration process, he added.

Sharing the same view, Secretary of Quang Tri province’s Party Committee Nguyen Van Hung proposed the Government restart the Vietnam cultural and human development strategy.

Regarding the fight against illegal activities, Acting President Dang Thi Ngoc Thinh noted that this year, the criminal situation has developed in complexity, with the appearance of new kinds of crimes, often using high technology.

She asked for extra efforts to be mobilized to channel focus on drug-related crimes, emphasizing the need to reduce the demand for and supply of illegal drugs, and subsequently drug-related criminals in 2019 and the years to follow.

In the plenary session, many delegates proposed continuing to complete laws and regulations on land, investment, and disbursement procedures.

Secretary of Nghe An province’s Party Committee Nguyen Dac Vinh stated that over the past time, administrative procedures for people have been improved significantly; however, those involved in the projects of enterprises remain limited.

Therefore, Vinh stressed the importance of continuing to reform administrative procedures to avoid overlapping.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Ha Tinh province’s Party Committee Le Dinh Son expressed his agreement with the tasks and measures at hand, especially in maintaining efforts to stabilize the macro-economy and curb inflation, mentioned in the reports by the Government’s Party Committee on socio-economic and budget performance in 2018 and plans for next year.

He suggested promulgating some decrees to institutionalize the Party’s resolutions and the Politburo’s conclusions.
