The country's socio-economic situation in 2020 and the plan for 2021 were discussed during the session.

Attendees of the session worked to complete the draft documents to be submitted to the 13th CPV national congress next year and gave opinions on the personnel plan for the 13th CPVCC.

In his closing remarks, CPVCC General Secretary and Vietnamese President Nguyen Phu Trong said that the CPV and the state should remain vigilant in the fight against COVID-19 while sharpening the focus on policies and measures to restore business and production activities.

The draft documents to be submitted to the upcoming national party congress map out the directions for national development in the 10-year strategic period from 2021 to 2030, along with key tasks and solutions to develop specific areas with much innovation content, according to the news agency.
