General Secretary To Lam: 'Science is a wild land' that needs to be boldly exploited
General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the goal of Resolution 57 of the Politburo is not only to remove obstacles,
but also to encourage. Science is a wild land, whoever goes there will win.
At the discussion session of Group 1 (Hanoi Delegation), General Secretary To Lam emphasized that the National
Assembly's comments on the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of policies to remove
obstacles in science, technology, innovation and digital transformation activities is very important and urgent.
Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital
transformation was issued at the end of 2024, but for the Resolution to come into effect, it is impossible to wait for
the amendment of related laws (expected to be completed by the end of 2025) because by then the spirit of
Resolution No. 57 mentioned above will no longer be meaningful.
According to General Secretary To Lam, the scope of this issue is too large, when it comes to any issue of science,
technology and national digital transformation activities, there are difficulties due to current regulations.
This is a lesson that shows that institutions are bottlenecks. If institutions cannot be removed, the Party's guidelines and
viewpoints will not be put into practice. The National Assembly's pilot resolution was also issued with the goal of urgently
removing obstacles in the legal system.
The opinions of the delegates also showed that these are urgent issues that need to be resolved. The Resolution cannot
regulate all the specific issues that are being addressed, so the scope of the draft Resolution only includes three groups
of oriented issues that need to be focused on. This also reflects the spirit of “running while lining up.”
“The lines are already very neat, but we still have to run,” General Secretary To Lam emphasized.
In addition, General Secretary To Lam analyzed the value and necessity of developing science and technology.
According to him, in the past, this field has not been able to develop due to problems in the legal system,
including laws such as the Law on Science and Technology, the Law on Bidding, the Law on Public Investment,
the Law on Enterprises, the Law on Intellectual Property, etc. Therefore, the General Secretary emphasized that when
choosing technology, we must choose modern, advanced technology and “take shortcuts,” otherwise we will fall behind
the world. If we only choose cheap technology and machinery (according to the provisions of the Law on Bidding),
we will become a “technology dumping ground.”
“I was very moved when I heard the Prime Minister report on tax exemptions and reductions, and more tax collection
because tax exemptions and reductions will encourage development. Reducing bank lending interest rates helps more
people borrow, and banks earn more interest,” the General Secretary shared.
From this practice, the General Secretary suggested studying regulations on how to encourage the effectiveness of science,
technology, innovation and digital transformation activities. In addition, he emphasized that the goal of the Resolution is
not only to remove obstacles, but also to encourage.
“Science is a wild land, whoever goes in the right direction will win. Resolution 57 of the Politburo has recognized that and
has had specific guidelines,” the General Secretary said.
On that basis, General Secretary To Lam requested that the Resolution of the National Assembly focus on basic issues,
not too complicated regulations, and the legal system will need to continue to be amended and synchronized,
first of all the Law on Science and Technology and related laws./.
