Mr. Quan said that in 2022, for the first time, the Politburo issued Resolutions on the development of 6 strategic regions, emphasizing the role of universities. On October 7, 2022, the Politburo issued Resolution No. 24-NQ/TW on socio-economic development, ensuring national defense and security in the Southeast region until 2030, with a vision to 2045.

In early August 2023, Ho Chi Minh City National University completed the draft of this Project and is collecting opinions from ministries, branches, and localities before submitting it to the Prime Minister for consideration and approval. This is an important orientation for Ho Chi Minh City National University to continue its mission, which is to carry out national strategic tasks and regional development tasks of the country.
Second, Mr. Quan proposed assigning Ho Chi Minh City National University to appraise and approve detailed plans for component projects under its management, in order to speed up the progress of investment preparation and disbursement of development investment capital.
Third, Ho Chi Minh City National University recommends that the Government soon issue a Decree on National University and a Decision to promulgate the Regulations on organization and operation of National University and member higher education institutions, in the direction of increasing autonomy and self-responsibility.
Accordingly, the Decree needs to clarify the provisions in Clause 2, Article 8, Law on Higher Education 2018 amendment: "National universities have high autonomy in activities related to training, scientific research, finance, international relations and organizational structure".
Fourth, it is necessary to review, supplement and clarify the provisions on emulation titles, emulation flags and Certificates of Merit at the National University level; emulation and commendation results at the National University level are recognized as equivalent to those at the ministerial and sectoral levels, and are accumulated when considering higher commendations according to the 2022 Law on Emulation and Commendation, effective from October 1, 2024, which stipulates that the National University is allowed to directly submit to the Prime Minister forms of State-level commendation equivalent to those of ministries, sectors and agencies under the Government.
Finally, Associate Professor Dr. Vu Hai Quan proposed that the competent authorities allow the rearrangement of the capital that had been canceled due to not being fully disbursed in previous years, for the compensation and site clearance project of Ho Chi Minh City National University in Binh Duong province and Ho Chi Minh City, to promptly supplement capital to speed up and complete the site clearance work at Ho Chi Minh City National University Urban Area.
