The Party Central Committee’s
Economic Commission on February 27 worked with the Vietnam National Oil
and Gas Group on strategic solutions to speed up the oil and gas
industry development strategy designed for the period from now to 2015
and beyond.
Participants looked at the development situation of
the sector, its contributions to the country’s economy, as well as its
existing limitations and shortcomings and the reasons behind these
problems.
They discussed the design of strategies
and sought measures to carry out these strategies for the sector’s
development which will go along with protecting ecosystem, national
security and defence and reinforcing the national sovereignty on the
sea.
The oil and gas sector has set to become an important
technical-economic sector which is able to ensure energy security for
the country’s growth.
The Economic Commission, headed by Party Central Committee member Vuong Dinh Hue, is a consultative body for the Party
Central Committee, in particular the Politburo and Secretariat,
regarding policies and strategies related to economic issues.
The
working session with the Vietnam National Oil and Gas Group, one of the
national economy’s backbone industries was the first of its kind the
Economic Commission has held since its establishment under the
Politburo’s Decision 160-QD/TW issued on December 28, 2012./.
