Present in almost all areas of life
Speaking at the 9th National Chemistry Conference, organized by the Vietnam Chemical Association and Hanoi University of Science and Technology on November 29, Mr. Vuong Thanh Chung - Deputy Director of the Department of Chemicals ( Ministry of Industry and Trade ) affirmed that chemicals are present in almost all areas of life, from agriculture, industry, processing, textiles and footwear, construction materials to medicine, high technology; playing an important role in socio-economic development.
According to the Deputy Director of the Department of Chemicals, the more the economy develops, the more important the role of the chemical industry becomes, because it is the source of essential raw materials for key economic sectors, creating the foundation for the development of science and technology, green economy and circular economy.

Appreciating the role of the chemical industry in social life and economic development, Mr. Phan Xuan Dung - Chairman of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations acknowledged that chemicals play an important role in many key industries such as: new materials, energy, environment, medicine and many other high-tech fields.
Vietnam is entering a new era of development, in which science and technology must have a particularly important position. The position of science and technology of the country cannot be separated from the development of the country.
Affirming that there is no rich and powerful country in the world that does not have a high position in science and technology, the President of the Vietnam Union of Science and Technology Associations said that the world is witnessing many new scientific trends, therefore, the Vietnamese chemical industry has a great opportunity to deeply integrate, expand international cooperation and contribute more effectively to sustainable development programs.
Mr. Vuong Thanh Chung - Deputy Director of the Department of Chemicals informed that in recent years, thanks to the attention of the Party and the State, the chemical industry has made significant developments, contributing to improving domestic production capacity, gradually reducing dependence on imports, and gradually participating in the global value chain.
The Party and State's policies and guidelines on the development of the chemical industry are clearly defined. The chemical industry is a fundamental industry and is given priority for development. In particular, Decision No. 726/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister: Approving the Strategy for the Development of the Vietnamese Chemical Industry to 2030, with a vision to 2040 is an important step, creating a legal corridor for the industry to develop modernly and sustainably.
These orientations clearly demonstrate the determination of the Party and State in building a self-reliant, green and high-tech chemical industry.
