On the morning of May 29, at the Party Central Committee’s Office, General Secretary To Lam, head of the Central Steering Committee for Science, Technology, and Innovation Development and Digital Transformation, chaired a meeting of the committee’s standing board.
In his opening remarks, General Secretary To Lam stated that the meeting aimed to assess the actual implementation of the Politburo’s Resolution 57, identifying strengths and weaknesses and outlining future directions. The meeting also aimed to provide guidance on strategic technology lists.
Highlighting the exceptional importance of Resolution 57, the General Secretary noted that no nation can become powerful without a strong science and technology foundation. He mentioned that he had met with two presidents (the French and Hungarian presidents) in the past week, both of whom expressed great interest in science and technology development and desired collaboration with Vietnam in this field.
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that if we lag in implementation, it will be challenging to keep up with the world’s advanced science and technology. These are extremely urgent issues.
He further stressed that without scientific and technological advancement, it would be impossible to achieve a growth rate of over 8% by 2025, fulfill the tasks set by the 13th Party Congress, or maintain double-digit growth rates in subsequent terms. Resolution 57, he clarified, is not a political slogan but a practical action plan for Vietnam’s take-off. Therefore, implementation must be regularly monitored, and any existing limitations or bottlenecks must be promptly addressed without delay.
According to the assessment of the standing agency, ministries, sectors, and localities have implemented and completed 103 out of 600 tasks. While there have been positive highlights in the implementation of Resolution 57, there are still existing limitations and bottlenecks, and some tasks have exceeded their deadlines. The General Secretary requested that this meeting frankly address these issues and focus on finding solutions.
