The Prime Minister requested to promote the development of science and technology and innovation.

The Prime Minister requested ministries, branches and localities to identify science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation as key and urgent political tasks.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has just signed Directive No. 33/CT-TTg dated November 6, 2025 on promoting the timely and effective implementation of assigned tasks in Resolution No. 71/NQ-CP dated April 1, 2025 of the Government and the Conclusion Notices of the Central Steering Committee.

There are still 51 overdue tasks left to complete.

Directive No. 33/CT-TTg clearly stated that, in recent times, with the drastic direction of the Government and the Prime Minister, the participation of the entire political system, the work of developing science, technology, innovation, national digital transformation, administrative reform and implementing Project 06 has achieved important and positive initial results, contributing to the socio-economic development of the country, recognized by the international community.

However, in the implementation process, there are still shortcomings that need to be overcome immediately. As of October 28, 2025, there are still 51 overdue tasks that have not been completed. The rate of online public service records is still low, only reaching 39.98%, of which the ministry and branch block reaches 54.46%, the provincial block reaches 16.94%, far from the target of 80% in 2025.

The quality of data in national databases and specialized databases has not met the criteria of "correct, sufficient, clean, and alive", making it difficult to connect, share, and reuse, leading to the situation where people still have to provide documents multiple times, unnecessarily. The work of ensuring information security and network security still has many shortcomings, and human resources for monitoring and handling incidents are also limited.

The above-mentioned shortcomings and limitations are due to many different reasons, both objective and subjective, in which one of the main reasons, the "bottleneck" is that the heads of some agencies are not really determined and thorough; the workload is large and increasing, while the organization and implementation have not yet responded promptly to new requirements and conditions; there is still a situation of pushing, fear of mistakes and fear of responsibility; some information systems and digital platforms of ministries and branches are still overloaded, have operational errors, lack stability, and are not connected smoothly with the administrative procedure settlement information system of localities.

Resolve overdue tasks once and for all

To overcome shortcomings and limitations, create strong and substantial changes in the implementation of key tasks in the last months of 2025, the Prime Minister - Head of the Government's Steering Committee on science, technology development, innovation, digital transformation and Project 06 requires ministries, branches and localities to identify science, technology development, innovation, digital transformation and administrative reform as key and urgent political tasks.

The Prime Minister also requested ministries, branches and localities to be more determined, act more decisively, and implement with focus and key points; for each assigned task, it is necessary to thoroughly grasp and seriously organize implementation according to the 6 clear principles: clear people, clear work, clear time, clear responsibility, clear product, clear authority and organize effective implementation associated with inspection and supervision... Focus maximum resources, strengthen direction and administration to prioritize the complete resolution of overdue tasks, tasks assigned in Resolution No. 71/NQ-CP dated April 1, 2025 of the Government and plans, regulations, and conclusions of the Central Steering Committee.

Strive to complete 100% of the workload by 2025 with quality and efficiency

The Prime Minister requested ministries, branches and localities to proactively and actively use the Information System for Monitoring and Evaluating the Implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW (http://nq57.vn) to monitor and supervise daily the implementation of tasks and solutions within their scope and authority; promptly remove difficulties, obstacles and "bottlenecks" in the actual implementation process, striving to complete 100% of the workload in 2025 with quality and efficiency.

Ministers, Heads of ministerial-level agencies, Government agencies, Chairmen of People's Committees of provinces and centrally-run cities shall direct the immediate handling of responsibilities of individuals and organizations that cause delays in the implementation of tasks; have plans to handle individuals who do not dare to do, avoid, shirk, work half-heartedly, are afraid of responsibility, are late and do not meet the requirements of assigned work in solving related issues, causing tasks to be behind schedule, prolonged, and wasting resources.

VNeID is the only account used to perform online public services and other electronic transactions.

The Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Public Security to preside over and accelerate the implementation of tasks and utilities under Project 06, ensuring the fundamental and core role of the national population database, electronic identification and authentication system; guide and urge ministries, branches and localities to implement the conversion to using VNeID as the only account in performing online public services and other electronic transactions.

Conduct assessment, ranking and public announcement of the readiness and capacity to connect and share data of ministries, branches and localities; the principle of "data must be shared", except for data in the list of state secrets. Any refusal to share must be explained directly to the competent authority.

Directive No. 33/CT-TTg clearly states that heads of ministries, branches and agencies are fully responsible to the Government and the Prime Minister for the progress and quality of implementation of key tasks within their management scope; direction and administration are key steps, words must go hand in hand with actions, have substantial results and create clear changes.
