Choose technology, do not choose cheap but take shortcuts

General Secretary To Lam emphasized the point of view that when choosing technology, one must take shortcuts, because "if one only follows, one will forever be behind, stagnant, and backward."

On the morning of February 15, the National Assembly discussed in groups the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of policies to remove obstacles in science , technology and innovation activities.

Speaking at the Hanoi National Assembly delegation, General Secretary To Lam emphasized the importance and urgency of developing and issuing this pilot Resolution. This is the first important step to institutionalize Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology development, innovation and national digital transformation.

General Secretary To Lam speaks at the group.

According to the General Secretary: "Resolution 57 was issued at the end of 2024, but to put it into practice, there are still many difficulties. A number of laws need to be amended and at the earliest it must be done by the middle of this year or even by the end of the year. If so, Resolution 57 cannot be implemented in 2025 or if implemented, it will be meaningless. Therefore, we propose that there must be a document to urgently put Resolution 57 into practice."

That is also the reason why the National Assembly was forced to hold this extraordinary session to resolve unusual issues.

The General Secretary highly appreciated the National Assembly's prompt issuance of a pilot resolution to not only remove difficulties and obstacles but also contribute to promoting and encouraging the development of science and technology.

Going into specific analysis, the General Secretary pointed out that in the Bidding Law, if we make machines as currently regulated, we will only buy cheap technology products, which will eventually become a "dumping ground" for science and technology and will always lag behind.

The General Secretary emphasized the point of view that when choosing technology, one must take shortcuts to get ahead. If one does not know where others are going and only follows, one will forever be behind, stagnant, and backward.

Or in the tax law, the General Secretary said that there should be measures to encourage development and if there are proper and reasonable tax exemption measures, it is even possible to collect more taxes.

The General Secretary highly appreciated the National Assembly's prompt issuance of a pilot resolution to not only remove difficulties and obstacles but also contribute to promoting and encouraging the development of science and technology.

He cited the example of last year, when the Government proposed tax exemptions and reductions but collected more taxes.

"At the recent Government meeting, I was very moved when I heard the Prime Minister report that tax exemptions/reductions and reductions in bank loan interest rates have helped stimulate business development and, in turn, collected more taxes," the General Secretary shared.

Discussing the bottlenecks in the development of science and technology in the Enterprise Law, the General Secretary said that there should be a reasonable incentive mechanism, and not limit oneself. For example, universities and scientific establishments must cooperate with enterprises.

Based on the above reality, the General Secretary said that it is necessary to remove institutional barriers in order and everyone must implement them together and go in the right direction.

At the same time, there must be investment incentives, it is necessary to accept risks, take risks and it takes time.

The General Secretary emphasized that science and technology is a wild land that needs to be exploited, with risks and adventures, not a wide open road that anyone can reach; if we wait for all conditions to be met, it will be very difficult.

The resolution to pilot a number of policies to remove obstacles in science, technology and innovation activities is the first step to institutionalize Resolution 57. In the long term, it is necessary to continue to amend laws, first of all the Science and Technology Law, to be consistent, close to reality, meet requirements, and have the consultation of experts and scientists...

"We need to innovate our thinking and ways of doing things, look directly at real problems to find solutions and not be afraid of any problems," the General Secretary emphasized.
