To promote high and continuous growth for many years, the Prime Minister emphasized the need to renew old growth drivers (investment, consumption, export) and effectively exploit new growth drivers (digital economy, green economy, circular economy, sharing economy, semiconductor chips, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, quantum, biology, underground space, marine space, universe, etc.).

Emphasizing the important role of science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and databases in the development process, the Prime Minister said the Politburo has issued seven important resolutions and is preparing to issue other resolutions on the State economy, foreign investment, and cultural development.

According to him, recently, the whole country has achieved many positive results in many aspects of institutions, mechanisms, policies and implementation organization. However, to complete the goals of science and technology development, innovation, national digital transformation, administrative reform and Project 06, there is still a lot of work to do.
