HANOI, July 23 (Xinhua) -- Vietnam aims at an average gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate of around 7 percent per year, lifting GDP per capita income to approximately 7,500 U.S. dollars by 2030, according to the government's comprehensive action plan.
The plan looks to continue fast-tracking the country's industrialization and modernization by 2030, with a long-term vision extending to 2045, Vietnam News Agency reported Tuesday.
Vietnam aspires to become among the top three industrial powerhouses in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, with the industrial sector contributing over 40 percent of GDP, according to the plan.
The country's manufacturing and processing sector is expected to account for around 30 percent of GDP, while the service sector is projected to contribute over 50 percent of GDP, with tourism alone generating 14-15 percent.
The country's agricultural workforce is expected to reduce to less than 20 percent of the total labor force.
The Southeast Asian country recorded year-on-year GDP growth of 6.42 percent in the first half of this year, the second-highest H1 growth in the past five years, according to the General Statistics Office.
Vietnam has targeted GDP per capita income of 4,700-4,730 dollars by the end of this year, according to the government. ■
