After nearly 40 years of implementing the renovation process, the Vietnamese intellectuals, scientists and artists have made great contributions in many aspects, helping to shape and promote the comprehensive development of the country in all fields - being the core force, pioneering in developing science and technology, building and developing an advanced Vietnamese culture and arts imbued with national identity.

Speaking at the Conference, General Secretary To Lam expressed his pleasure to meet veteran revolutionaries, scientists, intellectuals, and outstanding artists who have contributed to writing the heroic history of the nation with their intelligence, enthusiasm, talent, and tireless dedication, and who have contributed to making the "Thang Long spirit" more glorious for nearly a century.

Outstanding intellectuals, scientists, artists and writers have spread patriotic, progressive and revolutionary ideas, and the scientific spirit, creating an important premise for the movement to fight for national independence. Over the past 80 years, every stage of the Vietnamese revolution has been marked by the great contributions and imprints of intellectuals, artists and scientists. They are brave in combat, persistent in creativity, pioneers in innovation and dedicated to building the country...

The General Secretary shared that our country has the foundation, potential, position and prestige it has today thanks to the 4,000-year tradition of national culture that has been converging and crystallizing in 95 years under the leadership of the Party, 80 years of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, 40 years of renovation; thanks to the consensus, response, tireless work and dedication of millions of working people, including intellectuals, scientists, artists.

On behalf of the Party, State and people, the General Secretary commends, acknowledges, expresses gratitude and hopes for the great contributions of intellectuals, scientists and artists throughout the history of the nation, especially since the Party and Uncle Ho led our country and people.

General Secretary To Lam speaks at the Conference.

At the Conference, the General Secretary informed about the country's situation, especially the efforts to successfully implement the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress and to prepare well for the successful organization of the 14th National Party Congress, ensuring the successful implementation of the two 100-year goals set by the Party: By 2030, our country will become a developing country with modern industry and high average income; by 2045, it will become a developed country with high income; listening to the contributions of intellectuals, scientists, artists.

The General Secretary emphasized that in a world full of changes, maintaining the current goal of maintaining peace and stability; rapid and sustainable development; and further improving the material and spiritual life of the people is a very high and urgent requirement. To achieve this goal, the entire political system must take drastic action, the entire population needs to respond strongly, in which the joint efforts of intellectuals, scientists and artists are needed.

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 promptly adapt, receive and master, we will fall behind.

Therefore, more than ever, the role of scientists, intellectuals, artists, those who light the torch of knowledge and creativity, becomes more crucial. You are not only "engineers of the soul", "architects of the future", those who demonstrate "the potential of the Vietnamese people", but also keepers of the fire, spreading Vietnamese values, Vietnamese spirit, Vietnamese identity in a competitive and changing world.

To realize the aspiration for national development, the General Secretary requested that intellectuals, scientists, artists and writers need to accompany the Party and the people, promote their intelligence, revolutionary qualities and patriotism to the highest level to research, create and contribute to the cause of rapid and sustainable development of the country; focus on key areas such as science and technology, education and training, healthcare, high-tech agriculture, digital economy, digital society, green energy conversion, circular economy, etc.

The General Secretary suggested continuing to preserve, nurture and develop an advanced Vietnamese culture imbued with national identity in the digital age and the new era. Intellectuals, scientists and artists need to demonstrate a spirit of dedication to their work and proactively participate in the process of building and criticizing policies in the spirit of science, humanity and nationality.

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.
