He highlighted the importance of selecting visionary individuals and research group leaders capable of conducting scientific research of contemporary value, aligned with regional and global development trends.
VAST is also expected to uphold its leading role in science and technology research, serving as one of the State's top advisory bodies for policy-making, science and technology development strategies, and national socio-economic development.

The Deputy PM urged VAST to foster a spirit of "dare to think, dare to do, dare to try, dare to pioneer" in basic research and strategic technology development. He called on the academy to overcome obstacles and achieve breakthroughs, contributing to Vietnam's steady progress toward becoming a developed, high-income, prosperous, and strong nation by 2045.
