National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue speaks.
On the afternoon of June 7, speaking at the end of the question and answer session on the third group of issues on science and technology, National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that during the question and answer session, a record number of National Assembly deputies registered to question (32 deputies participated in the question and answer session, with 20 deputies asking questions and 12 deputies debating; 92 deputies registered to question and 3 deputies registered to debate but due to running out of time, they did not question and speak).
Breakthrough thanks to Science, Technology and Innovation Development Strategy
The National Assembly Chairman noted that the question-and-answer session took place in a constructive and responsible spirit. National Assembly deputies asked specific, concise, and focused questions; some deputies actively debated to clarify the questions.
Minister of Science and Technology Huynh Thanh Dat has held the position of Commander of the science and technology sector since the end of the 14th term (from the 10th Session), but this is the first time he has answered questions before the National Assembly.
As a scientist and former leader of Ho Chi Minh City National University - a major training and scientific research center of our country, the Minister has a firm grasp of the current situation in the management field, confidently, fully and frankly answering questions from National Assembly delegates, and proposing specific directions and solutions for handling in the coming time.
Also participating in answering and clarifying issues related to the field of science and technology were: Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha; Minister of Finance, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Minister of Planning and Investment.
The National Assembly Chairman said that through the report and developments of this questioning session, it can be seen that in recent times, with the attention of the Party and State, determination, responsible efforts, the science and technology sector has achieved many outstanding achievements.
The National Assembly Chairman stated that the science and technology development strategy for the 2011-2020 period has been actively implemented, completing 8/11 important goals set out; the Science and Technology Development and Innovation Strategy to 2030 has been issued and implemented.
This is a breakthrough, of great significance, creating a breakthrough in improving productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy. The legal corridor for science and technology development is increasingly complete. The investment ratio between the State and enterprises for science and technology is improving in a positive direction.
Scientific research has been promoted; basic science has achieved many achievements; applied science and technology has made remarkable progress. Attention has been paid to promoting the development of the science and technology market, accelerating the transfer and application of research results into practice, especially in the field of high-tech agriculture.
However, there are still many difficulties and obstacles; the development and promotion of the key role of science and technology still have many limitations, such as the system of legal documents is still lacking in synchronization.
The science and technology market is still developing slowly, there are few reputable and experienced intermediary organizations to connect supply and demand. The national innovation system is in the formation stage, not yet synchronized and effective.
The development of high-tech zones has not met expectations. The National Fund for Science and Technology Development and the National Fund for Technological Innovation aim to attract more investment resources from society, but currently still rely entirely on the state budget.
Total social investment in science, technology and innovation is still low, investment is still spread out, and investment efficiency is not high. Although the number of science and technology staff has increased, there is a lack of leading scientists.
Focus on effectively implementing science and technology development policies
The National Assembly Chairman suggested that through the question-and-answer session, the Government, the Minister of Science and Technology, and relevant Ministers should fully absorb the opinions and suggestions of National Assembly deputies and resolutely direct the implementation of proposed solutions to overcome shortcomings and limitations.
The National Assembly Chairman also noted the need to focus on key issues. Accordingly, effectively implementing the Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation Development to 2030; synchronously deploying National Science and Technology Programs to 2030; continuing to institutionalize the Party's guidelines and policies and synchronizing the State's legal regulations and policies on science, technology and innovation development.
Innovate thinking about granting autonomy and self-responsibility to public science and technology organizations to enhance responsibility, enhance the organization's proactiveness and creativity; have solutions for universities to truly become centers of scientific and technological research and centers for training high-level science, technology and innovation human resources.
The National Assembly Chairman suggested that more attention should be paid to establishing industrial property rights, recognizing and registering the circulation of new products and new technologies; and announcing new technologies and new products created in Vietnam from the results of scientific research and technological development.
Increase investment from the state budget for science and technology; develop mechanisms and policies to encourage enterprises to increase investment in science and technology and promote linkages with domestic and foreign scientific research organizations and foreign enterprises. Complete regulations on high-tech zones; continue to research and advise on solutions to promote the development of functional zones.
Early completion of the legal framework for the National Science and Technology Development Fund; including reviewing and proposing amendments to relevant legal regulations.
