On that basis, the Prime Minister affirmed Vietnam's three consistent and consistent viewpoints in the process of 'green transformation in the digital age.' In which, all development takes people, people, and businesses as the center, subject, goal, driving force, and resources; not trading off environmental protection and social security to pursue mere economic growth; the green transformation process in the digital age must aim to help people become more prosperous, safer, and happier.
Vietnam is a good friend, a reliable partner and a responsible member of the international community; persistently pursuing an independent and autonomous foreign policy for peace, friendship, cooperation and development, multilateralization and diversification; always ready to be a friend and reliable partner of countries to maintain a peaceful and stable environment, create favorable conditions and mobilize the support of countries around the world for rapid and sustainable development together.
Accordingly, Vietnam is committed to seriously implementing the millennium goals and committing to zero net emissions by 2050; ready to open the market, create a legal corridor to welcome green capital flows and green technology from international partners.
Vietnam consistently holds the view that resources originate from thinking and vision; motivation originates from innovation and creativity; strength originates from people and businesses; and must combine national strength with the strength of the times, domestic strength with international strength.
According to the Prime Minister, to realize the above goals and viewpoints, Vietnam needs to focus on implementing solutions in the spirit of 'open institutions, smooth infrastructure, smart governance and human resources, and common practices.'
In particular, the State creates institutions with the spirit of 'going early, going ahead to pave the way for development' through building a legal corridor, encouraging the development of projects in the fields of green transformation and digital transformation; cutting and simplifying administrative procedures and business regulations, creating maximum convenience for enterprises and foreign investors.
There are preferential mechanisms to mobilize and effectively use resources in the spirit of 'internal resources are fundamental, strategic, long-term and decisive; external resources are important and breakthrough'; harmoniously combine internal and external resources, national strength with the strength of the times; promote public-private cooperation.
Promote the development of high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of green transformation and digital transformation; build a system of schools; perfect mechanisms and policies to promote linkages between schools and businesses to meet market requirements.
Promote cooperation and transfer of science and technology, in which the help and support of international friends and the world's leading enterprises are needed, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum technology, semiconductors, nuclear energy, etc.
Innovate smart management thinking in the direction of both strict management and development creation, maximize resource mobilization for development, change administrative thinking from management to service and creation; research, transfer and apply advanced management experiences in the world suitable to Vietnam's conditions and circumstances.
