Prime Minister: “No to Negativity, No to Difficulty, No to Empty Promises” in Development and Innovation

In response to General Secretary To Lam’s directive, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, on behalf of the Government, emphasized that science, technology, and innovation are objective requirements and top strategic priorities for the Party and the State.

Aligning with General Secretary To Lam’s guidance, the Prime Minister proposed the “3 No’s” principle. First, no negativity, no difficulty, and no unfulfilled promises in innovation and development. Second, no perfectionism, no haste, and no superficial innovation. Lastly, no barriers to innovative thinking and decisive action, no administrative hurdles, and no restrictions on the creative space for any individual or collective.

Addressing development partners and international organizations, the Prime Minister requested “3 Supports” for Vietnam. First, technical support and experience-sharing to help Vietnam develop policies, legal frameworks, infrastructure, and resources for innovation. Second, financial support and technology transfer, especially in priority sectors and strategic technologies, along with the establishment of R&D centers in Vietnam. Third, support for Vietnamese startups and tech companies to connect with global markets, value chains, and supply chains.

For the younger generation, students, and youth, the Prime Minister highlighted “3 Pioneers”: Pioneer in leading by example in innovation and digital transformation; pioneer in surpassing personal limits to innovate anytime, anywhere, in any situation; and pioneer in racing against time, developing intelligence, and acting decisively in innovation.
