Hanoi (VNA) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh highlighted the critical task of developing sci-tech, innovation and quality workforce while chairing a conference in Hanoi on February 11, noting that they are essential drivers of economic restructuring, enhanced labour productivity, and greater competitiveness in today’s fast-changing world.
In his address, PM Chinh asked relevant ministries and the Government Office to collect feedback at the event to propose a draft directive for this national effort.
Sci-tech, innovation, digital transformation, and workforce quality improvement are objective requirements, strategic choices, and top priorities, he said, adding that they must be centred around the people and businesses, making them the core drivers of the process.
He reflected on Vietnam’s achievements in these areas, highlighting how they have propelled economic development across sectors, including agriculture.
Referring to the contents of the Resolution on breakthroughs in the development of sci-tech, innovation, and digital transformation, as well as the Government's action plan for the resolution, PM Chinh urged ministries, agencies, localities, research institutes, universities and businesses to focus on their nine assigned tasks and solutions.
