Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc

Phuc is Vietnam’s 11th State President since 1945 and the first prime minister in the country’s history to become the head of the state.

National Assembly (NA)’s deputies are set to vote for key positions in state agencies in the final session of its 14th tenure (2020-25) on April 5.

The Prime Minister’s task force, after five years of operation, has helped address many existing problems caused by “custom rules the law” that hamper the country's socio-economic development process.

The main goal is to minimize losses for the state budget and ensure lawful rights for workers, national security and defense, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.

Although agencies and localities have made many efforts, there are still existing problems that require more drastic actions to control the pandemic.

Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has agreed on setting up a taskforce specialized in addressing bottlenecks for investment.

Digital transformation is an inevitable trend that will keep the economy going forward, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.

With an investment capital of VND4.86 trillion (US$211 million) and six lanes, the 23-kilometer expressway will be completed within two years, allowing vehicles to run up to 100 kilometers per hours.

Vietnam has successfully attained the dual target of both containing the pandemic and boosting economic recovery, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc has said.
