Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung had a meeting with young scientists on September 11 who have made outstanding achievements recognised nationally and internationally.
During the meeting, the first between young scientists and the Government leader, Minister of Science and Technology Nguyen Quan said many practical innovations by young scientists have brought great socio-economic efficiency.
However, Quan pointed out that the young scientists are facing many difficulties in research conditions, equipment and expenditures and their salaries do not provide them with financial security.
The scientists also proposed necessary policies to the PM that would assist the scientists to contribute more to the nation.
According to Dr. Pham Van Phuc from the Ho Chi Minh City National University , problems in training scientists as well as financial policies for scientific and technological activities have not been thoroughly dealt with, along with unnecessarily complicated and burdensome regulations.
Meanwhile, Chairman of the FPT Group’s Board of Directors Truong Gia Binh shared his opinions on the reality of business start-ups and investment ventures as well as on how to improve the nation’s capacity to update new technology and attract adventurous investments from both within and outside the country.
Praising the efforts and achievements of the scientists over the past years, PM Nguyen Tan Dung affirmed that the Party, State and Government always pay attention to creating favourable conditions for young scientists to promote their talent and creativity.
He said that in order for Vietnam to rise above developing country status and speed up modernisation and industrialisation, the Party and State have defined human resources, especially high-quality personnel, as well as the application of advanced science and technology as strategic priorities.
He asked the Ministry of Science & Technology and other ministries, localities, research institutes, universities and enterprises to design effective policies mechanisms to support, employ and train young scientists while encouraging investment and assistance for science-technology business start-ups.
It is also necessary to back young scientists to increase research activities for new technologies while forming a chain of science-technology business, turning ideas into products with strong competitiveness in domestic and world markets, he said.
The PM also affirmed that the Government will sponsor a non-profit project to produce glasses for the blind, which received the humanitarian award at the Robocon Techshow 2012.-VNA
From 2014, the revised Law on Science and Technology is effective with many new changes and is expected to create new development for Vietnam’s science and technology. Report by the Vietnam Economic News.
Start-up opportunities will be broadened for technology aficionados and young scientists as TECHFEST Vietnam 2015, a technology start-up event, kicked off in Hanoi on May 15.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Long spoke highly of the dynamic, positive, and comprehensive development of Vietnam – Russia relations in recent years. He affirmed that the Vietnamese Party and State place great importance on further strengthening the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia in a substantive and effective manner, in line with the development needs of both nations.
At the conference, participants reported that the Government has so far issued 28 decrees on the delegation of responsibilities and powers between the central Government and two-tier local administrations. Several localities have already piloted the new governance model.
Reality is the ultimate benchmark for success, he said, urging drafting agencies to work out policies that foster development, reduce bureaucratic hurdles, and respect practical conditions.
Under the official dispatch signed on June 20, ministers, heads of ministerial-level agencies, and chairpersons of provincial and municipal People’s Committees are requested to concentrate efforts on implementing core measures to ensure the smooth operations of the new administrative framework.
The Party chief underscored the need for the press to innovate relentlessly, evolve to keep pace with the country's development, transform into a truly professional, humanistic, and modern sector that serves the cause of the Party, the State, and the people on the path to national construction and development.
The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.
Nghia affirmed that this is a milestone of special significance, affirming and honouring the the Vietnamese revolutionary press’s glorious tradition of 100 years of serving the revolutionary cause of the Party, serving the Fatherland, and serving the people.
The Party and State of Vietnam always attach great importance to and give top priority to the development of Vietnam–China relations. Vietnam is ready to work with the Chinese Party and State to further deepen the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and promote the building of the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries strategic significance.
Under the leadership of President Ho Chi Minh and the CPV, President Cuong said, the press has been a steadfast force on the ideological and cultural front, rallying the masses to pursue national aspirations.
NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
The show, together with a grand parade to be held silmutaneously at Ba Dinh Square in Hanoi, will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution, the National Day, and the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army (VPA).
In particular, in April 2023, the two sides successfully carried out a joint operation that dismantled a major organised, transnational drug trafficking ring involving both Vietnamese and Cambodian suspects.
The Vietnamese Embassy in Israel is closely coordinating with relevant local agencies to stay informed and provide the utmost support possible for Vietnamese nationals.
The launch of Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, even before the founding of the Communist Party of Vietnam, is considered a testament to President Ho Chi Minh’s strategic foresight and strong belief in the guiding power of the revolutionary media.
