In his concluding remarks, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasized the importance of science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, administrative reform and the implementation of Project 06 (Project on Developing the application of population data, identification and electronic authentication to serve national digital transformation in the 2022-2025 period, with a vision to 2030).

The Prime Minister commended the efforts, attempts and achievements of ministries, branches and localities, and the consensus, support and active participation of people and businesses.

In addition, the Prime Minister pointed out the shortcomings, limitations and slow-progress tasks, such as decrees being issued late; many tasks in programs, plans and projects being implemented are still behind schedule and have not changed.

Human resources for science and technology, innovation, digital transformation, administrative reform and implementation of Project 06 have not yet met the demand in terms of quantity, quality, distribution, working attitude and professional ethics; there is no public-private partnership mechanism in resource mobilization...

The Prime Minister pointed out 5 points that need to be focused on in the coming time. Firstly, administrative reform and science and technology development, innovation, and digital transformation are closely linked, promoting and supporting each other, taking people and businesses as the center and subject.

Second, reforming the administrative apparatus, science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation are objective requirements, strategic choices, and top priorities. Third, doing things with focus, not spreading out, not half-heartedly, doing each thing properly, and finishing each thing.

Fourth, change the state from passively receiving and resolving administrative procedures to proactively and actively serving the people and businesses. Fifth, reward and punish clearly, promptly, appropriately and effectively.

Along with the five guiding views and ideas are three important tasks: first, to accelerate national digitalization. Second, to cut and simplify administrative procedures without limits, the more the better. Third, to develop comprehensive digital citizenship.

Along with that are 3 key tasks, both immediate and long-term: perfecting open institutions; developing infrastructure must be smooth, promoting the development of 5G coverage, fiber optic cable systems, satellites, especially databases; all levels, sectors, localities, enterprises, educational and training institutions develop and implement human resource training plans.
