ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE 2004 PLAN In 2004, despite numerous difficulties at home and adverse impacts from overseas, Vietnam’s economy still saw a fairly high growth rate. Almost all major socio-economic development targets have been attained or topped the plans under the National Assembly’s Resolution. Encouraging results have been obtained in agricultural production; the industrial growth rate has been fairly high, improvements have been seen in service provision, export has witnessed high increase. Resources mobilized for development investment have been diversified, internal strength has been better promoted, thus accelerating the economic restructuring for the better. The State budget revenue has surpassed the estimate. Progress has been made in some cultural and social aspects. Many results have been obtained in the work of hunger elimination and poverty alleviation. The people’s life has continued to improve. The political situation has been stable; national defense, security and social order and safety have been firmly maintained. External relations have been constantly expanded; Vietnam’s role and position have been raised, the process of negotiations for accession to the World Trade Organization (WTO) has seen marked progresses. The above results have been attributed to the great efforts of the entire Party, entire population and entire army; to the dynamic and effective administration by the Government, ministries, branches, localities; the active supervision by people-elected bodies; the increasingly effective contributions of overseas Vietnamese and the support and assistance of foreign friends. However, the 2004 socio-economic situation still sees many limitations and weaknesses.
