Although faced with severe difficulties and challenges, results attained in 2006 are satisfactory. The successful 14th APEC Meeting, full WTO membership and the Permanent Normal Trade Relations with the US acquired by Vietnam are promoting a new wave of foreign investment to Vietnam. To maximize the prospects for 2007, at the beginning of the year, all branches and administrative levels and enterprises of all sectors should strictly follow the direction of the Government by implementing various solutions to problems, making good use of opportunities, addressing inherent weaknesses and overcoming challenges in order to successfully achieve the planned targets for 2007.
