The Ministry of Science and Technology's electronic information portal would like to introduce the Minister's article at this important event.
In a solemn and exciting atmosphere, with the consent of the Standing Committee of the Government Party Committee, the 1st Congress of the Party Committee of the Ministry of Science and Technology for the 2025-2030 term was held. This is an important historical milestone, not only marking the event of the Party organization in the Ministry being consolidated after the merger, but also demonstrating strong political determination in making science and technology, innovation and digital transformation truly become the central driving force for national development, in the spirit of Resolution 57.
Looking back at the 5-year journey of implementing the Resolution of the Party Congress of the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Party Congress of the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC), we can report to the Congress that, basically, the set targets have been completed and exceeded. Science and technology have made an important shift towards innovation. Postal and telecommunications infrastructure has shifted to digital infrastructure and become the infrastructure of the economy, becoming essential strategic infrastructure such as electricity and transportation. The application of information technology has shifted to a comprehensive and all-people digital transformation. The above three changes have laid the foundation for a new breakthrough development stage of the country.
The 2025-2030 term is the first term of the unified Ministry of Science and Technology; the first term to implement Resolution 57 of the Politburo on Breakthrough in the development of national science and technology, innovation and digital transformation; the first term to comprehensively implement the second innovation in science and technology and post and telecommunications; the first term to bring the three strategies of science and technology, innovation and digital transformation under one roof; the first term, science and technology, innovation and digital transformation take on the mission of being the main driving force to realize Vietnam's aspiration of becoming a high-income developed country with a socialist orientation.
The merger of the two ministries, the Ministry of Science and Technology and the Ministry of Information and Communications, is to create synergy. The merger of the two ministries is to erase the boundaries between science and technology, innovation and digital transformation, digital technology industry and digital infrastructure. The merger of the two ministries requires a new approach, a new way of doing things. And only then can this merger create value.
Science and technology, innovation and digital transformation form a resonant ecosystem, promoting each other's development and playing a key role in the national development strategy. Science and technology provide the knowledge base and technical tools; digital transformation transforms that knowledge into new products, services and business models; digital transformation opens up space for deployment and expansion of application scale at high speed and low cost.
Fundamental innovation is that science and technology, innovation and digital transformation must aim at the ultimate goal of improving national competitiveness, labor productivity, national governance capacity, economic growth, ensuring national security and defense, and improving people's quality of life. Science and technology, innovation and digital transformation must contribute at least 50% to GDP growth.
Science, technology, innovation and digital transformation must focus on solving national strategic problems, such as promoting double-digit growth, effectively implementing the two-tier government model, improving institutional quality, human resource quality, infrastructure, public service quality and product quality.
The spirit of innovation is to closely connect science and technology, innovation and digital transformation, forming a technology - innovation - and data ecosystem, shifting from process management to goal and result management, taking enterprises as the center of the national innovation ecosystem, institutes and schools as the source of knowledge and the state as the creator and supporter, connecting the whole people and the whole society to participate in innovation and digital transformation.
Setting high goals, proposing major solutions, breakthrough policies and mechanisms, arranging suitable competent staff in positions for implementation, inheriting the past, opening up a new future, preserving unity and consensus like preserving the pupil of one's eye. Those are the focuses of the Congress.
An organization that wants to develop sustainably must have its own genetic code. Core values are the genes. Pioneering - Creative - Innovative - Dedicated - Courageous - Loyal, are The genome was formed from the two fields of science, technology and post and telecommunications over the past 80 years. We will continuously preserve, cultivate and spread the unique genome of the unified Ministry of Science and Technology, which is the pioneering spirit, creative aspiration, breakthrough will, dedicated service, bravery and deep affection, to make science and technology, innovation and digital transformation truly become the main driving force of national development.
Setting an example - Discipline - Focus - Breakthrough is our motto for action, it creates unity in perception and action of the entire Party Committee in this first term. Cadres must set an example, employees must maintain discipline, work must be focused, and results must be breakthroughs.
Our Congress this time has a particularly important responsibility: to deeply and objectively summarize the past term; correctly assess the context and development requirements; and determine goals, directions, tasks, and solutions that are strategic, innovative, and feasible.
Science and technology focus on mastering strategic technologies and products. Innovation must bring science and technology to touch, change and solve practical problems in Vietnam, form the spirit of innovation among all people, make innovation a way of life and lifestyle of all people and organizations, and form a startup nation based on digital technology and innovation.
Postal infrastructure is transformed into logistics infrastructure and becomes essential national infrastructure, ensuring material flow alongside data flow. Telecommunications infrastructure is transformed into digital infrastructure, serving national digital transformation, ensuring universality, ultra-wide bandwidth, ultra-large capacity, green, open, smart, safe and sustainable. Developing digital technology industry into a foundational and spearhead industry, mastering core technology, ensuring digital sovereignty and becoming the driving force for national digital transformation. Digital transformation for all people and comprehensively to develop digital government, digital economy, digital society.
Standards are the orientation for national development, regulations create national protection barriers; Intellectual property is the lever to increase intangible assets and national competitiveness; Atomic energy is the strategic foundation to ensure energy security and improve the level of national science and technology.
