Prominent intellectuals, scientists, and artists have disseminated patriotic, progressive, and revolutionary ideas, as well as the scientific spirit, creating an important foundation for the struggle for national independence. Over the past 80 years, every stage of the Vietnamese revolution has been marked by the significant contributions of intellectuals, artists, and scientists. These individuals were courageous in battle, persistent in creativity, pioneers in innovation, and dedicated to building the nation...

On behalf of the Party, the State, and the people, the General Secretary commended, acknowledged, expressed gratitude for, and held high hopes for the immense contributions of intellectuals, scientists, and artists throughout the history of the nation, especially since the establishment of the Party and the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh over our country and our people.

The General Secretary stated that we are living in an era where knowledge is the most important resource for development, the "new energy" of the 21st century. The Fourth Industrial Revolution, digital transformation, artificial intelligence, biotechnology, renewable energy, etc., are profoundly changing all aspects of social life. If we do not adapt, embrace, and master them in a timely manner, we will fall behind.
Therefore, more than ever, the role of scientists, intellectuals, and artists—those who light the torch of knowledge and creativity—becomes crucial. These individuals are not only "engineers of the soul," "architects of the future," and embodiments of "the potential of the Vietnamese people," but also keepers of the flame, spreading Vietnamese values, spirit, and identity in a world full of competition and change.
To realize the aspiration for national development, the General Secretary requested that intellectuals, scientists, and artists should work alongside the Party and the people, maximizing their intellect, revolutionary qualities, and patriotism to research, create, and contribute to the rapid and sustainable development of the country; focusing on key areas such as science and technology, education and training, healthcare, high-tech agriculture, digital economy, digital society, green energy transition, and circular economy…

The General Secretary proposed continuing to preserve, nurture, and develop Vietnam's advanced culture, rich in national identity, in the digital age and the new era. Artists and writers need to be soldiers on the spiritual front, constantly creating works of ideological and aesthetic value, with the power to inspire and elevate the Vietnamese spirit in the context of globalization and integration as it is today.
Intellectuals, scientists, and artists need to demonstrate a spirit of dedication to their work, actively participating in the process of policy formulation and critique in a scientific, humanistic, and nationalistic spirit.
Intellectuals are not only researchers and teachers, but also creators and contributors to knowledge and ethics, helping to shape the country's development path in the spirit of serving the nation, serving the people, and ensuring the survival of the nation; actively connecting and spreading knowledge, experience, and values to the younger generation. Let us pass on not only knowledge but also the national spirit, revolutionary ideals, patriotism, and compassion to the next generation. This is the most practical way for these positive values to be promoted and "live on in the national cause."

The General Secretary requested that intellectuals, scientists, artists and writers maintain professional ethics, honesty, science, revolution and social responsibility. In the context of multi-dimensional information, mixed truth and falsehood, and many events and incidents being fabricated by technology and artificial intelligence, the qualities of intellectuals become even more important. Integrity, honesty and kindness are the shields protecting the truth, protecting people, helping society to be healthy and develop.
Affirming that the Party and State always pay attention to and create conditions for intellectuals, scientists, artists to promote their talents, creativity and dedication to the country, the General Secretary believes that Vietnamese intellectuals, scientists, artists will continue to be the pioneering force, the flame that paves the way for our nation to move forward strongly, firmly, and confidently into the future.
