The Government has ordered all ministries, sectors and localities to overcome every difficulty and challenge to implement the 2024 socio-economic development plan.
The order was made under the newly-issued Government’s Resolution 01/NQ-CP on main tasks and solutions to implement the socio-economic development plan and State budget estimates this year.

It will strive to put into operation at least 130km of expressways this year and complete the goal of having 3,000km of expressways by 2025.
The fourth group of solutions is restructuring the economy associated with innovating growth models; improving competitiveness; developing rapidly and sustainably; strengthening the development of digital economy, green economy and circular economy.
The fifth group of solutions is developing high-quality human resources, especially human resources in the fields of biotechnology, artificial intelligence, semiconductor chips associated with promoting scientific research, technology and application development, further promoting startup innovation.
It has been striving to have 50,000-100,000 high-quality human resources for the semiconductor chip manufacturing sector by 2025 and 2030.
The Government also plans to review, amend, supplement the legal framework to enhance the development of science, technology and innovation; developing the national innovation system in a business-centred direction.
