National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue said that during the question-and-answer session, a record number of National Assembly deputies registered to question. There were 32 deputies participating in the question-and-answer session, with 20 deputies asking questions and 12 deputies debating. There were 92 deputies registered to question and 3 deputies registered to debate, but due to time running out, they were unable to question and speak. The National Assembly Chairman asked the deputies to send their questions to the Minister for written responses according to regulations.
The National Assembly Chairman noted that the question-and-answer session took place in a constructive and responsible spirit. National Assembly deputies asked specific, concise, and focused questions; some deputies actively debated to clarify the questions. Minister Huynh Thanh Dat has held the position of Commander of the Science and Technology sector since the end of the XIV term (from the 10th Session), but this is the first time he has answered questions before the National Assembly. As a scientist and former leader of Ho Chi Minh City National University - a major training and scientific research center in our country, the Minister has a firm grasp of the current situation in the management field, confidently, fully, and frankly answering questions from National Assembly deputies, proposing specific directions and solutions for handling in the coming time.
Also participating in answering and clarifying issues related to the field of science and technology were: Deputy Prime Minister Tran Hong Ha; Minister of Finance, Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development, Minister of Planning and Investment.
The National Assembly Chairman said that through the report and the developments of this question-and-answer session, it can be seen that, in the past time, with the attention of the Party and the State, determination, responsible efforts, the science and technology sector has achieved many outstanding achievements. The National Assembly Chairman stated that the science and technology development strategy for the 2011-2020 period has been actively implemented, completing 8/11 important goals set out; the Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation Development to 2030 has been issued and implemented. This is a breakthrough, of important significance, creating a breakthrough in improving productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness of the economy. The legal corridor for science and technology development is increasingly complete. The investment ratio between the State and enterprises for science and technology has improved in a positive direction. Scientific research has been promoted; basic science has achieved many achievements; applied science and technology has made clear progress. Focused on promoting the development of the science and technology market, accelerating the transfer and application of research results into practice, especially in the field of high-tech agriculture.
However, there are still many difficulties and obstacles; the development and promotion of the key role of science and technology are still limited, such as the system of legal documents is still lacking in synchronization. The development of the science and technology market is still slow, there are few reputable and experienced intermediary organizations to connect supply and demand. The national innovation system is in the formation stage, not yet synchronous and effective. The development of high-tech zones has not met expectations. The National Science and Technology Development Fund and the National Technology Innovation Fund aim to attract more investment resources from society, but currently still rely entirely on the State budget. Total social investment in science, technology and innovation is still low, investment is still spread out, and investment efficiency is not high. Although the number of science and technology staff has increased, there is a lack of leading scientists.
The National Assembly Chairman suggested that through the question-and-answer session, the Government, the Minister of Science and Technology, and relevant Ministers should fully absorb the opinions and suggestions of National Assembly deputies, resolutely direct, and implement proposed solutions to overcome shortcomings and limitations.
The National Assembly Chairman also noted the need to focus on key issues. Accordingly, effectively implement the Strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation Development to 2030; synchronously deploy National Science and Technology Programs to 2030. Continue to institutionalize the Party's guidelines and policies and synchronize the State's legal regulations and policies on science, technology and innovation development.
