On the morning of October 15, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, General Secretary To Lam , Head of the Central Steering Committee on Science and Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation, chaired the Standing Committee meeting.

The meeting aims to assess the implementation of Resolution No. 57 of the Politburo in the third quarter of this year and propose key tasks and solutions for the end of the year.

According to the Steering Committee, over the past 9 months, Resolution 57 has initially come into life, spreading to society and the business community, creating more resources and motivation to effectively implement tasks.

In his speech, General Secretary To Lam stated that it is necessary to consider science and technology, innovation and digital transformation as the driving force for national development. Not only land, finance, human resources and labor, but if a country wants to develop quickly, it must have science, focusing on digital transformation. This is a very strict requirement, requiring a common understanding to take common action.

The General Secretary also emphasized that there is still much work to be done and many tasks in the plan have not been implemented. There are still about 90 overdue tasks. Many bottlenecks are still mentioned over and over again, and there is still a fear of making mistakes and being responsible. If the tasks are not completed in the fourth quarter, the tasks in 2025 will not be completed, which will delay the tasks of the next term.

Many bottlenecks must be resolved to make further breakthroughs. The system has been opened and the political will is there, but there is still a situation of heat at the top and cold at the bottom, and this situation cannot be allowed to continue.
