Throughout are specific tasks
The Strategy was issued by the Government under Decision 1189/QD-TTg (October 15, 2024). Director of the Department of Physical Training and Sports Dang Ha Viet acknowledged that the Strategy is the specific and consistent content for sports managers at all levels as well as many ministries and branches to coordinate to implement the most effective task groups.
Developing Physical Education and Sports is the duty and responsibility of the entire political and social system, and is one of the important socio-economic tasks that requires the active and proactive participation of all social resources. At the same time, it is necessary to accelerate the process of innovating the management mechanism, organization methods, and activities of Physical Education and Sports, in accordance with the conditions, situation in the country and international trends, to meet the requirements of national development.
At the Conference, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism acknowledged many constructive comments. Giving his opinion, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong pointed out that this is a common Strategy for everyone to implement, not for any individual. Industry leaders emphasized that all levels, sectors, localities and units must develop and deploy implementation plans to ensure consistency, synchronization and rhythm. Heads of Party committees and authorities at all levels clearly identify the key tasks of their localities and units to focus on directing the development of programs and plans to implement the Strategy.
Strengthening the initiative, responsibility, improving the quality and effectiveness of the Strategy management, while ensuring that the program is implemented in practice and maximizes the resources for implementation. Vietnamese sports still focus on developing highly qualified human resources (athletes, coaches) but need to come up with solutions to build appropriate policy mechanisms. Most notably, the Strategy has emphasized the content of sports economics, so managers need to be proactive in doing well in this content area.
