The FDS 2006-2020 aimed to manage, protect, develop and sustainably use  forest; to ensure the participation of economic sectors and social organizations in forest development to contribute to social and economic development, environmental protection, biodiversity conservation, provision of ecosystem services, reducing poverty and improving living standards for rural people in mountainous areas, and contributing to national security and defence.[1] 

The FDS 2021-2030 aims to develop the forestry as an economic - technical sector; establish, manage, protect, develop and sustainably use forest and land areas planned for forestry; maximise the potentials, roles and values of forests so that the contribution of forestry can be increasingly significant to  socio-economic development, environmental and ecological protection, water security, mitigation of natural disasters, and proactive and effective response to climate change.[2]
