In his speech, PM Nguyen Xuan Phuc stressed that since declaring independence on September 2, 1945, the Vietnamese people have overcome all difficulties and challenges to preserve the nation’s independence and freedom and national unification, while carrying out the Doi Moi (renewal) cause and have achieved historical accomplishments.

From a poor and underdeveloped country due to war damages, Vietnam has become a middle-income country, improved its people’s living conditions and completed many Millennium Development Goals ahead of schedule, he said. “The Government of Vietnam is committed to building a government that is instrumental to development, a government of integrity with strong actions in service of people,” PM Phuc said.
