HANOI: Developing Vietnam’s labour force remains a key priority for the country in the coming decades, according to a governmental resolution approved by the National Assembly (NA) recently.

The resolution stressed the importance of improving workforce productivity and developing a fair and sustainable labour market covering all regions across the country, not just in major economic centres.
