Importantly, Ho Chi Minh City has demonstrated "real" steps over the past six months, both fundamental and comprehensive, so the directives of the City Party Committee leader have a solid basis. They also partly reflect reality, thus having a very high "reflective" effect on each official and Party member in each functional unit.
In the field of science and technology, the four words "truth" mentioned above encompass both the reality of achievements and the limitations and challenges that lie ahead. The city's accomplishments – including the responsibility of the government and the dynamism of the business community, universities, and society as a whole – over the past year are commendable.
However, as the conference report clearly outlined the limitations and areas for improvement. Firstly, there may be a lack of thorough understanding and interpretation of the spirit of Resolution 57. Secondly, there has been a reluctance to accept, process, and allow the implementation of initiatives and proposals from domestic technology corporations and the startup community. Furthermore, the procedures remain cumbersome and multi-layered, with job designs heavily focused on reporting rather than delivering tangible, end-product results.
Therefore, only when we truly "think seriously and act seriously" (and know how to do it) will these obstacles be addressed decisively and effectively. If we continue to do things superficially, just to produce a good report, then our "true responsibility" will remain merely... a formality.
Faced with "true responsibility," each individual and each authorized unit will question their limitations: Can we do our work better, faster, more efficiently, and with stronger interaction? Can we be more proactive in supporting initiatives and proposals? Can we have more groundbreaking ideas beyond the permitted scope to bring about common benefits?
Certainly, by truly questioning ourselves and asking those questions, each of us will know how to answer them – that is, to act genuinely and take real responsibility. The result will be real products, tangible and measurable achievements, as the Secretary of the Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, Tran Luu Quang, has said.
More than ever, clusters and alliances for development are forming and will continue to be led by various strategic partners and investors. Typical examples include the entry of private corporations, entities, and startups such as the Low-Level Economic Alliance and the On-Chain Alliance in the development of international financial centers. Another example is the pioneering role of Becamex Group in the North Ho Chi Minh City Science and Technology City.
Certainly, 2026 will no longer be just a starting point but must move into the substantive phase. The city's action resolutions must be put into practice, "completed" with concrete products for citizens and businesses to benefit from, evaluate, and continue to support and strive for. Only then will social trust be firmly established.
The government believes in the scientific and technological community, businesses, and startups. The market believes in the alliance between the state, scientists, and startups/businesses.
Trust is built through groundbreaking mechanisms and rigorous, fair institutions; through the sincerity, understanding, and responsibility of the government; through the consensus, cooperation, and support of the people… and above all, through the products – the outputs – that the “three-party” community has “thought honestly, acted honestly, and taken real responsibility for.”
