Continue to focus on completing the tasks for 2025 as outlined in Resolution 57-NQ/TW.

The meeting aimed to conduct a comprehensive review of the issues, content, and tasks for implementing Resolution 57-NQ/TW in 2025.

On the afternoon of December 5th, the Central Steering Committee on Science , Technology Development, Innovation, and Digital Transformation held a meeting to review the overall issues, contents, and tasks to be implemented in 2025. This included identifying existing shortcomings, limitations, obstacles, and difficulties, and urging their implementation; in preparation for the Steering Committee's annual review at the end of December.

Comrades Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Member of the Political Bureau, Secretary of the Hanoi City Party Committee, and Deputy Head of the Steering Committee; Pham Gia Tuc, Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Chief of the Central Party Office, and Deputy Head of the Standing Steering Committee; and Nguyen Chi Dung, Member of the Central Committee of the Party, Deputy Prime Minister, and Member of the Steering Committee, chaired the meeting.

Attending the Conference were members of the Central Steering Committee, the Working Group; the Inter-ministerial Group; and leaders from the Ministries of Education and Training, Industry and Trade, Finance, Justice, Science and Technology, and Construction...

According to the Steering Committee's report, as of December 4, 2025, the Steering Committee had assigned a total of 1,287 tasks to ministries, sectors, localities, and units. Of these, 601 (47%) have been completed, 404 (31.5%) are on schedule, and 104 (8%) are overdue. In addition, there are 178 (13.5%) ongoing tasks. With 404 tasks currently on schedule, 368 tasks must be completed before December 31, 2025. Thus, along with the overdue tasks, there are 472 remaining tasks for 2025.

In terms of institutions, after one year of implementing Resolution 57-NQ/TW, 17 laws, 59 decrees, 62 circulars, and 702 local documents have been promulgated.

Regarding digital transformation, the total number of administrative procedures nationwide is 5,527. Local authorities have provided online public services for 2,014 out of 2,177 procedures, accounting for 92.5%. All 34 localities have published lists of administrative procedures that can be implemented regardless of geographical boundaries. The rate of publication and implementation of administrative procedures nationwide has reached 90%.

Despite achieving many results, numerous difficulties and obstacles remain, including the slow progress in document digitization (reaching only 48%); incomplete connection and data sharing between specialized databases; inadequate, outdated, and unsuitable technical infrastructure in many areas, especially at the grassroots level, failing to meet the requirements for operating new shared software; limited IT personnel in agencies; difficulty in ensuring full disbursement of funds by 2025 due to current legal procedures; the emergence of 308 villages with poor signal coverage; and 129 villages without electricity…

Regarding the progress of constructing and putting into operation national and specialized databases according to Plan No. 02, currently 4 databases have established foundations and are centrally formed; 5 databases are under development, lacking foundations and centralized databases, with some data already available but only digitized and not yet created according to proper business processes; and 3 databases have not yet been deployed.

Regarding the current status of building the 105 databases assigned for 2025 according to Resolution 71/NQ-CP, 31 databases have established foundations and are centrally formed; 36 databases are under development, with initial foundation and shared software being built; and 38 databases are either under development or not yet under development, with a high risk of not being completed.

Comrade Ngo Hai Phan, Director of the Digital Transformation and Cryptography Department, Central Party Office, Member of the Central Steering Committee, and Deputy Head of the Working Group, reported on the progress of tasks up to December 4, 2025, particularly emphasizing the shortcomings and limitations that need to be addressed.

The reasons are attributed to a lack of decisive and focused leadership, direction, and management from leaders in some ministries and sectors; unscientific and unreasonable leadership assignments; the absence of a unified coordination mechanism; and a lack of technical coordination and data sharing between units under the Ministry and between different ministries and sectors. Some ministries and sectors have not identified which databases need to be prioritized to promptly serve administrative procedures and management; they have not correctly identified which data is "original data" and "master data," leading to duplicate collection of information and wasting digital resources.

In addition, 18 databases belonging to 7 ministries have been registered with the Ministry of Science and Technology (worth over 300 billion VND) but have not yet been approved due to incomplete registration documents. The capital registration process of ministries and sectors lacks a comprehensive and unified approach. The information system for handling administrative procedures is implemented in a perfunctory manner, with many tasks not complying with legal regulations and guidelines from the Ministry of Science and Technology, causing delays in capital disbursement and resulting in missed deadlines.

Regarding finances, the Ministry of Science and Technology has reviewed and proposed to the Ministry of Finance to report to the competent authorities the allocation of 16,716.074 billion VND to 26 ministries and central agencies (14,797.456 billion VND) and 20 localities (1,918.618 billion VND). The Prime Minister has agreed to allocate 13,659.992 billion VND, leaving 3,056.082 billion VND unallocated.

Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Kim Son reported to the meeting on the implementation of the "Three-Party" cooperation model.

Regarding Science and Technology and Innovation: The "Three-Party" cooperation model has been implemented in four key universities. The Ministry of Education and Training, the Ministry of Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Finance have proactively coordinated with relevant agencies to resolve institutional obstacles, financial mechanisms, intellectual property valuation, and data sharing. However, the implementation of the model is still being carried out using outdated methods, lacking a clear shift towards the new model. Some specific tasks assigned in the concluding notices are still behind schedule or lack complete information and evidence on the monitoring system.

Regarding the promotion of localization rates for strategic technology products, the Ministry of Science and Technology is drafting a revised High-Tech Law, which includes provisions on policies to promote localization in strategic technology products. The Ministry of Industry and Trade is currently researching and proposing the promulgation of a Law on Key Industries. However, the implementation generally only progresses to the planning and follow-up stages, without specific products as required by the Steering Committee.

Regarding solutions for developing strategic technologies: although the List of Strategic Technologies has been issued, there is currently no specific implementation program, evaluation standards, or guidelines, leading to confusion in implementation. A specific financial mechanism for the "Three-Party Model" for each specific product (capital contribution ratio, risk sharing, profit distribution) has not yet been determined.

Regarding the deployment of the information system for resolving administrative procedures by ministries and agencies: It is necessary to clearly state the necessity, perspective, and solutions for deploying the Administrative Procedure Resolution Coordination System as a component of the National Public Service Portal, and to complete it before December 20, 2025.

Comrade Nguyen Duy Ngoc emphasized that without effort, we risk completing the tasks but still falling behind the world's scientific and technological development.

At the meeting, representatives from ministries and agencies frankly raised the issues that had been resolved, as well as the difficulties and obstacles that needed to be overcome, and requested the Steering Committee to direct coordinated implementation; and to consider and reallocate some tasks to better suit the functions and responsibilities of the ministries and agencies.

Concluding the meeting, Comrade Nguyen Duy Ngoc, Member of the Political Bureau, Secretary of the Hanoi City Party Committee, and Deputy Head of the Steering Committee, emphasized that 2025 is the first year of implementing Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation. However, we are witnessing rapid development in this field worldwide. Therefore, if we do not make efforts, we risk completing the tasks but still falling behind that development.

Regarding the proposals from ministries and agencies, Comrade Nguyen Duy Ngoc clarified: In terms of institutional framework, the Ministry of Science and Technology is the lead agency, responsible for overseeing the entire system and all ministries and agencies to complete the institutional framework development by 2025.

Regarding the Administrative Procedure Architecture Framework: The Steering Committee unanimously agreed to assign the Ministry of Public Security to lead its implementation. The Ministry of Public Security should quickly deploy the framework so that by January 1, 2026, parts of it are put into use, and by March 1, 2026, the entire framework can be used. The implementation of the Administrative Procedure Architecture Framework must ensure adherence to the established decentralization of authority, linked to the assignment of tasks, procedures, digital transformation, and budget allocation. In addition, ministries and localities should promptly complete their Smart City projects for implementation.

With 452 tasks to be completed in 2025, Comrade Nguyen Duy Ngoc suggested that ministries and agencies conduct subjective self-assessments, emphasizing that completion cannot be achieved solely through the system, as failure to complete tasks would hinder the entire system. He then proposed dividing these tasks into 4 groups and 10 specific areas for effective implementation in 2026.
