The Prime Minister stated that to achieve strategic goals, we have set a growth target of 8% or more in 2025 and 10% or more in 2026 and the following years.

To promote high and continuous growth for many years, we must renew old growth drivers (investment, consumption, export) and effectively exploit new growth drivers (digital economy, green economy, circular economy, sharing economy, semiconductor chips, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, quantum, biology, underground space, marine space, space, etc.); promote industrialization, modernization, economic restructuring, and establish new growth models.

Emphasizing the important role of science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, and databases in the development process, the Prime Minister said that the Politburo has issued 07 important Resolutions and is preparing to issue other resolutions on the state economy, foreign investment, and cultural development; in which, Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, and national digital transformation is the first Resolution to be issued.

In recent times, the Government and the Prime Minister have focused on directing ministries, branches and localities to resolutely implement Resolution No. 57 with the spirit of "The Party has directed, the Government has agreed, the National Assembly agrees, the People support, the Fatherland expects, then only discuss and do, not discuss backtracking", taking advantage of every day, every month, every hour and every minute to implement.

Recently, we have achieved many positive results in many aspects of institutions, mechanisms, policies and implementation organization. However, to complete the goals of science and technology development, innovation, national digital transformation, administrative reform and Project 06, we still have a lot of work to do.

The Prime Minister asked delegates to focus on evaluating what has been done and what has not been done; review assigned tasks; clarify the results achieved, as well as the existing problems, difficulties and obstacles; identify the existing problems, limitations, weaknesses, obstacles, barriers and bottlenecks; propose tasks and solutions for the coming time, thereby contributing to promoting rapid and sustainable growth in ministries, branches, localities, agencies and units.

The Prime Minister recalled a specific example he encountered in Thanh Hoa, when a parent had to travel 19km to the commune People's Committee headquarters to get a birth certificate for their student child, then send it to Hanoi. Informing that he had instructed people to access the VNeID application, which contains complete data on personal relationships in the family, as well as information on the date of birth, place of birth, etc. of each person, the Prime Minister emphasized that it is necessary to strengthen guidance and foster knowledge and skills for people, and at the same time, we must boldly and decisively cut out unnecessary tasks and procedures that people still have to do.
