He urged all relevant ministries and agencies to play an active role in proposing specific projects and to develop appropriate controlled-policy experimentation mechanisms.

Emphasis on International Cooperation and Best Practices
Highlighting the significance of international collaboration, Deputy PM Dung stressed the need for Vietnam to learn from and incorporate global best practices and experiences.
