The Vietnamese government will focus on speeding up national administrative reform, and "decisively preventing and pushing back red-tape, corruption and wastefulness," Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung stated Thursday.
He made the statement in a taking-office speech before local legislators right after they approved his proposal on appointing five deputy prime ministers and 22 ministers, Vietnam News Agency reported.
The government will strongly instruct the good implementation of administrative reform, clarify power, tasks and responsibility of each organizations and individuals, minimize tardiness and disturbance faced by residents and enterprises, and create favorable conditions for mobilizing all resources to ensure high economic growth rate, poverty reduction, cultural development and environment protection.
In the short term, the government will center on dealing with major socioeconomic problems, said the prime minister. Vietnam will develop rapidly in a sustainable way and become an industrial country.
The cabinet members will jointly build up a government which has strong solidarity, "fully promotes the role of the collective, and properly highlight individual responsibility of the prime minister and other members," he said.
The five deputy prime ministers aged 48-65 of the 12th government include three deputy prime ministers of the 11th government, Nguyen Sinh Hung, Pham Gia Khiem and Truong Vinh Trong. Two new deputy prime ministers are Hoang Trung Hai, 48, member of the Political Bureau under the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee (CPVCC) and Industry Minister of the 11th government, and Nguyen Thien Nhan, 54, CPVCC member, currently holding the post of Minister of Education and Training.
