SINGAPORE: Presiding over the celebrations of the 30th anniversary of Vietnam's total reunification, Prime Minister Phan Van Khai has praised the "collective strength of the people and the armed forces" of the county. Speaking at a function in Hanoi on Friday, on the eve of nationwide celebrations over the historic fall of Saigon (now, Ho Chi Minh city) and the defeat of United States exactly three decades ago Mr. Khai said the ruling Communist Party of Vietnam as also the State institutions and the people themselves reposed faith in the country's younger generation. Noting that 60 per cent of Vietnam's population was born after the liberation of the southern part and its complete unification with the rest of the country on April 30, 1975, he said the younger generation must now shoulder the development-task. Recounting how the State policy of `Doi Moi' or `renewal' over the last two decades had produced reform-oriented results during the last 20 years, the Prime Minister said economic productivity and creativity had been witnessed. "An improvement in infrastructure and an increase in wealthy households and a reduction in poverty" were achieved. It was in this context that the party and the State institutions were zeroing in their laser-beam focus on those born after the country's reunification. Mr. Khai indicated a development agenda for the country as a whole in the present context of not only globalisation but also Vietnam's "rapid economic growth" since the adoption of `Doi Moi' policy and the country's vibrant links with others on the international stage.
