There is no definitive solution, it is difficult to convert numbers into interconnected and synchronized ones.

On the afternoon of August 28, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung chaired a meeting with ministries and branches to review the implementation of tasks according to Resolution 71/NQ-CP (amending and updating the Government's Action Program to implement Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation) and Plan 02-KH/BCĐTW of the Central Steering Committee on science, technology, innovation and digital transformation development (on promoting interconnected, synchronous, fast and effective digital transformation to meet the requirements of restructuring the political system's apparatus).

34 overdue, uncompleted tasks

Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Pham Duc Long said that Resolution 71 assigned 330 tasks to ministries, branches and localities, of which 90 tasks have been completed (65 tasks were completed on time, 25 tasks were completed late).

There are 4 overdue, delayed, and unfinished tasks, including: completing the development and updating of the action plan to implement the Government 's Action Program; upgrading and perfecting the information technology infrastructure to meet information security requirements; completing the connection between the administrative procedure settlement information system at the ministerial and provincial levels with the National Population Database to serve the settlement of administrative procedures and public services according to Decree No. 107/2021/ND-CP of the Government; developing a Decree regulating the establishment and organization of activities of venture capital funds for innovative startups, technology incubation and digital transformation; developing Laws amending and supplementing the following Laws: State Budget; Law on Management and Investment of State Capital in Enterprises; Law on Enterprises; Law on Tax Administration.

Regarding the implementation of tasks according to the conclusion notices of the Central Steering Committee, there were 322 assigned tasks, 136 of which were completed, and 30 tasks were not completed and were overdue.

Implementing the direction of the Deputy Prime Minister, the Ministry of Science and Technology worked with localities and discovered 26 difficulties and problems that still existed in the process of implementing administrative procedures and online public services under the 2-level local government model. 17 problems have been basically resolved, with 9 remaining.

The problems focus on administrative procedures, online public services (interactive eForms are not yet optimized; the profile components are still complicated; the progress of digitalizing profiles is still slow; the rate of online profile submission is low, overload in receiving profiles directly), facilities and conditions (lack of facilities in disadvantaged communes; lack of points for handling administrative procedures related to citizen identification; there are still signal gaps) and data (failure to exploit the old electronic data management warehouse for organizations and individuals, the new data warehouse has no data, and data cannot be reused; connecting and exploiting data from national databases, systems of ministries and branches).

Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long also said that many communes are currently lacking equipment and machinery. Funding is available but the progress of procurement is slow.

At the meeting, representatives of the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Industry and Trade, and Ministry of Public Security gave specific explanations about the tasks that had been performed but had not been recorded in a timely manner, the tasks that had not been completed overdue, and affirmed their commitment to speed up the implementation of assigned tasks.

According to Deputy Minister of Finance Tran Quoc Phuong, the Ministry is behind on 12 tasks.

This Deputy Minister also explained specifically about the delayed tasks, in which the Tax Administration Law was delayed due to objective reasons because it was not yet the National Assembly session so it could not be presented.

Regarding the task of presiding over and coordinating with the Government Office and the Ministry of Public Security to restructure administrative procedures and deploy the National Public Service Portal as a centralized and unique "one-stop shop" of the country, the Ministry of Finance has coordinated with the Ministry of Public Security to implement 18/82 administrative procedures under the management of the Ministry. Along with that, the Information System for handling administrative procedures has been upgraded.

There is no definitive way to complete the task.

Concluding the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung highly appreciated the synthesis and preparation work of the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Public Security and the Government Office.

Emphasizing that the workload is still very large, if there is no decisive solution, it will be very difficult to complete the tasks as required, the Deputy Prime Minister pointed out that the total number of tasks according to Resolution 71 and the conclusions of the Central Steering Committee is 652 tasks, the number of overdue tasks is 34.

Pointing out the problems such as the urgent task implementation time, the reorganized apparatus is not familiar, the operation is not smooth, the staff capacity is not up to standard, uneven, some places have excess, some places lack; the viewpoints and thinking in using databases are not unified, the infrastructure is still lacking, many databases are not usable, the Deputy Prime Minister analyzed the biggest cause is the inadequacy between the implementation organization and the assigned tasks, leading to "we are always in a passive and chasing position".

From there, the Deputy Prime Minister requested that ministries and branches make more efforts, especially leaders must get involved, determined and drastic.

Warning that the current situation of delays and overdue tasks, while there are still many tasks from now until the end of the year, will lead to not being able to complete the tasks of the whole year, Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Chi Dung directed ministries and branches to review all 652 tasks, separate the tasks that must be completed in 2025, to clearly see how many tasks must be completed each month, and which agencies will carry them out.

“There are easy tasks, but there are also very difficult tasks that must be separated for monitoring... Classify tasks, focus on difficult tasks, and proactively regulate. If there are many tasks, or they are too difficult, report back to the Steering Committee...,” said the Deputy Prime Minister.

Regarding specific tasks, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry of Science and Technology to focus on completing the four laws included in the Law and Ordinance Development Program, following the procedural process, closely following international policies, guidelines, and experiences, ensuring the best quality, and coordinating with the Ministry of Justice to submit to the National Assembly before September 15. At the same time, the Ministry will start drafting the AI Law according to the tasks assigned by the Central Government.

The Ministry of Science and Technology registers strategic products for immediate priority implementation, reports to the Government Steering Committee for reporting to the Central Steering Committee for selection and approval.

Regarding the number of communes that have not yet purchased terminal equipment, the Deputy Prime Minister requested the Ministry to grasp the number of communes and provide specific instructions. At the same time, continue to urge, inspect and guide the implementation of Resolution 57 to advise the Government Steering Committee, grasp difficulties, obstacles, causes and propose solutions to promptly report.

The Deputy Prime Minister also assigned the Ministry of Public Security to monitor the implementation of Project 06. In the immediate future, it is necessary to focus on completing the databases of ministries and branches, especially important original databases such as land, household registration, health, education, judgments, etc.

The Government Office coordinates with ministries, branches and localities to review 34 delayed and unfinished tasks, paying attention to 27 tasks with a deadline of completion in August 2025 that are likely to be delayed to monitor and urge implementation./.
