On the morning of February 15, the National Assembly discussed in groups the draft Resolution of the National Assembly on piloting a number of policies to remove obstacles in science, technology and innovation activities.
Speaking at the meeting, General Secretary To Lam said that Resolution 57 was issued at the end of 2024, but to be put into practice and wait for the amendment of the Law on Science and Technology, the fastest time is mid- or late 2025. Therefore, Resolution 57 cannot be implemented this year and cannot be institutionalized by legal documents.
Therefore, the General Secretary said that he proposed a resolution to remove difficulties for science and technology, because if the law amendment process is left to continue, it will take years.
"The name of today's resolution is to remove, but as the delegate stated, it is not only to remove but also to promote and encourage," said the General Secretary.

He said that the scope of these problems is too large, touching anything is difficult due to regulations. This is also a lesson in institutional removal, this resolution is also a way to urgently remove institutional obstacles.
This time the National Assembly held an extraordinary meeting to resolve urgent issues, according to the General Secretary.
Based on the opinions of localities, ministries, and enterprises, the Government presented a number of issues and proposed three groups to focus on with orientation. The General Secretary said that if we freely present all the issues, we will not be able to finish them all. If we go into details, we may not be able to issue a resolution and fail.
"The spirit of running and lining up at the same time, in neat and orderly lines but still have to run," he said.
According to the General Secretary, everyone sees the value and necessity of developing science and technology, but why can't it be developed? Because of many difficulties and problems, amending the Law on Science and Technology is also not possible.
"The Law on Bidding also has problems. The Law on Bidding for buying cheap goods will become a dumping ground for science and technology, even giving us outdated technology. We have to take shortcuts to get ahead. Science and technology are behind, but we have to take shortcuts to get ahead. The world has developed, but if we don't know how to follow, we will be left behind," the General Secretary emphasized.
According to the General Secretary, even if people give it to us for free but we accept it, we will fall into their trap. The Law on Bidding only cares about money, cheap prices, but if we invest at cheap prices, when will we be able to compete with the world?
He said that some economies have not been able to develop science and technology in the past because they are stuck with capital and are confused about how to recover capital to improve and apply new science and technology.
"If we continue down this path, we will die. That is the problem of bidding. The bidding agency's crime pushed us into this situation, so we must get out," said the General Secretary.
Talking about the importance of developing science and technology, the General Secretary said that science and technology is a "wild land" to be explored, whoever can enter and succeed will win big. Therefore, there must be priority policies to do these things.
The process of issuing Resolution 57 (Resolution 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation) was highly supported by scientists and the people, but to go into specific and direct solutions, there must be participation from all walks of life and scientists, according to the General Secretary.
"It is true that to enter life, there is still one more stage, more difficulties, more challenges. To achieve results, we must innovate our thinking, our way of doing things, look directly at reality to find solutions," General Secretary To Lam emphasized.
Regarding tax payment, according to the General Secretary, the Government exempts and reduces taxes but collects more taxes.
"At the Government meeting, I was moved when I heard about tax exemptions, tax reductions, and loan interest rate reductions. If people don't borrow money for production and business, the economy cannot develop. Interest rates are low but many people borrow. We must have regulations to encourage them, not just worry about collecting a lot and collecting thoroughly," said the General Secretary.
