On the afternoon of February 5, the Ministry of Information and Communications held a meeting to disseminate the implementation plan of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW (Resolution 57) dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation and Resolution No. 03/NQ-CP (Resolution 03) dated January 9, 2025 of the Government promulgating the Action Program to implement Resolution 57. Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Pham Duc Long directly attended and chaired the conference.

To implement the Government 's Action Program, the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued Plan No. 286, assigning specific tasks to each agency and unit to effectively implement assigned goals and tasks.

According to Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long, if unit heads say they cannot do this or that because they are stuck with circulars, decrees, or regulations, then those officials are the bottleneck to the country's development.

" If there is a circular, then amend the circular. If there is a decree, then amend the decree. There is no such thing as not doing something because it is stuck, thereby creating a bottleneck for the country ," the Deputy Minister emphasized.

The second guiding viewpoint that is clearly understood is the assignment of responsibility to the leader. Previously, the leader directly directed, now the leader directly does, directly responsible for the progress of implementing tasks. The results are the measure to evaluate the leader.

The Deputy Minister requested heads of agencies and units in the Ministry to review the content and completion time of tasks related to their units, then report back on the time and progress of implementation and propose additional resources if necessary. Heads of units also need to divide the plan into weeks and months, assigning tasks to individuals responsible for implementation.

The review and planning must be carried out urgently with the spirit of " one week late means the whole country is blocked for a week, one month late means the whole country is blocked for a month, development is delayed for a month ", then sent to the synthesis point, the National Digital Transformation Agency (Ministry of Information and Communications).

The National Digital Transformation Agency is assigned to coordinate with the Office of the Ministry of Information and Communications to build a system to update, monitor and evaluate the implementation of plans of units on a weekly and monthly basis for reporting.

Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long requested units in the Ministry of Information and Communications to seriously and responsibly carry out all assigned tasks, and encourage them to do them faster and earlier than planned.

“ We are not allowed to delay, if we delay any day, we will be the bottleneck of the country that day. That is the spirit. There are many tasks, but if we can do them, it will create a breakthrough for the country's development ,” the Deputy Minister emphasized.

Implementing the direction of the Ministry's leaders, at the working session, all agencies and units in the Ministry of Information and Communications committed to performing well the assigned tasks with the highest determination.

Vietnamese startups look forward to breakthrough policies from Resolution 57. With Resolution 57, Vietnamese startups are hoping that Vietnam will have new policies on the technology business ecosystem, providing more support for high-tech startups.
