Deputy Prime Minister Pham Thi Thanh Tra has called for a pilot mechanism to hire general directors for state-owned enterprises, moving beyond traditional appointments based solely on existing planning.

The equitization of state-owned enterprises will not chase short-term profits but will prioritize safeguarding national brands, according to the Head of the Central Policy and Strategy Department.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh calls on the entire nation, from businesses to individuals, to compete in legitimate enrichment, development, and innovation.

Economic development is not a competition between the private and state sectors; rather, both need to collaborate to determine "who does what best," according to expert Pham Chi Lan.
