Speaking at the group discussion, Politburo member, Permanent Deputy Secretary of the Government Party Committee, Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh emphasized: We have just gone through a very different and harsh term. There are more difficulties and challenges than opportunities and advantages.

In particular, the epidemic is very severe and unusual, unprecedented. Natural disasters are also extremely extreme and cause great damage. The world and regional situation is complicated and unpredictable, with endless wars and conflicts in many places; economic blockade activities, sanctions, trade wars and tariffs have appeared...

In such a context, under the leadership of the Party and the Government, ministries, branches and localities have made continuous efforts, making the most of opportunities, potentials and advantages, overcoming difficulties and challenges, thereby the socio-economic situation in the past term has achieved many great achievements, which has been demonstrated as in the draft political report, these achievements have been recognized by the world and highly appreciated by the people; it can be said that many of the results we have achieved are extremely spectacular.
