When choosing technology, you must take shortcuts.

According to General Secretary To Lam , it is necessary to remove institutional barriers and have measures to encourage investment, risk-taking, and adventure.

On February 15, the National Assembly discussed in groups the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of policies to remove obstacles in science , technology and innovation activities.

Speaking at the meeting, General Secretary To Lam emphasized the importance and urgency of developing and issuing this pilot Resolution. This is the first important step to institutionalize Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation.

According to the General Secretary, Resolution 57 was issued at the end of 2024, but to put it into practice, there are still many difficulties, it is necessary to amend a number of laws and at the earliest by the middle of this year or even by the end of the year. If so, Resolution 57 cannot be implemented in 2025 or if implemented, it will be meaningless. Therefore, it is proposed that there must be a document to urgently put Resolution 57 into practice. That is also the reason why the National Assembly is forced to hold this extraordinary session to resolve unusual issues.

The General Secretary emphasized that the National Assembly urgently issued a pilot Resolution to not only remove difficulties and obstacles but also contribute to promoting and encouraging the development of science and technology.

The General Secretary pointed out, for example, in the Bidding Law, if we make machines as currently regulated, we will only buy cheap technology products, which will eventually become a “technology dumping ground” and will always fall behind. “When choosing technology, we must take shortcuts,” the General Secretary emphasized.

Citing the Tax Law, the General Secretary said that there should be measures to encourage development and if there are appropriate and reasonable tax exemptions, it is even possible to collect more taxes. Last year, the Government proposed tax exemptions and reductions, but more taxes were collected. "At the recent Government meeting, I was very moved when I heard the Prime Minister report that tax exemptions and reductions, and reductions in bank lending interest rates have helped stimulate business development and in turn, collected more taxes," the General Secretary shared.

Regarding the bottleneck in the development of science and technology in the Enterprise Law, the General Secretary said that there should be a reasonable incentive mechanism, and not limit oneself. For example, universities and scientific institutions must cooperate with businesses.

From there, according to the General Secretary, it is necessary to remove institutional barriers in an orderly manner and everyone must implement them together and go in the right direction. At the same time, there must be measures to encourage investment, accept risks, take risks and take time.

The General Secretary emphasized that science and technology is a wild land, whoever enters and wins is the winner. Without taking risks, waiting for full implementation is not possible. The Resolution on piloting a number of policies to remove obstacles in science, technology and innovation activities is the first step to institutionalizing Resolution 57. In the long term, it is necessary to continue to amend laws, first of all the Law on Science and Technology to be synchronous, close to reality, meet requirements, with the consultation of experts and scientists," the General Secretary emphasized, at the same time stating that we need to innovate thinking, ways of doing, look directly at reality to find ways to remove obstacles and not be afraid of any problems.
