General Secretary To Lam commended the relevant parties for their efforts in implementing many solutions to implement Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation and national digital transformation (Resolution 57).

However, the General Secretary said that digital transformation, application of science and technology, especially technology mastery by some enterprises in some ministries and local sectors, is still confusing, difficult and has many limitations.

Emphasizing the need to master science and technology selectively from international experience, especially from countries leading in innovation, the General Secretary requested that in the coming time, ministries, branches and localities focus on removing difficulties and obstacles arising in the implementation process.

In particular, focusing on immediately implementing a number of key tasks, heads of agencies, localities and units must strengthen inspection and supervision of the implementation of Resolution 57 at the workplace, with the spirit of not waiting and specifying the tasks to be implemented, with regular and continuous assessments and summaries.

Besides, it is also necessary to strengthen training programs for officials, civil servants, public employees and workers on digital transformation, innovation, especially the application of science and technology in real life.
