Hanoi: Party General Secretary and State President To Lam on July 8 underscored the need to build a modern, transparent, flexible, and internationally integrated labour market. Chairing a working session with the home affairs sector on improving workforce quality, creating sustainable employment, and developing human resources to meet the country's new development requirements, General Secretary and President Lam stressed the importance of addressing existing shortcomings candidly, saying Vietnam's challenge is no longer a shortage of workers but a shortage of workers whose skills meet development requirements.

According to Vietnam News Agency, To Lam emphasized the urgency of aligning the workforce's skills with the evolving demands of the global market. The session focused on strategies to enhance the quality of the workforce and ensure that employment opportunities are sustainable. The goal is to equip workers with the necessary skills to compete internationally and contribute to the nation's growth.

The meeting also highlighted the need for transparency and flexibility in the labour market to attract foreign investments and partnerships. By integrating international standards, Vietnam aims to create a labour market that not only meets domestic needs but is also competitive on a global scale.

Vietnam's leadership is committed to addressing these challenges by implementing policies that focus on education, training, and the continuous development of human resources. The overarching objective is to foster an environment where skilled workers can thrive and contribute to the nation's economic progress.
