According to the Prime Minister, the great revolutionary achievements of our Party during the past 90 years have shown great contributions and role played by the work of propaganda and training. Those working for that are supposed to be brave and loyal soldiers on the cultural ideological front.

At the meeting, Prof. Nguyen Trung Viet (University of Water Resources) contributed many ideas to the Prime Minister on the difficulties and challenges in nowaday Vietnam to develop a strong team of intellectuals and scientists.

Mr. Viet proposed that it was necessary to identify the key sciences of Vietnam within 20-30 years. Vietnam should take advantages of both strengthes, one based on traditional strengths such as high agricultural development; the another steps ahead, catches up with new technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) ...

The professor also expected the state to create conditions for young scientists to engage. Accordingly, research institutes and universities must really be high-tech nurseries and creative environment.

Prof. Tran Dinh Long - President of Vietnam Plant Seed Association commented that the most current problem of scientific research was mechanism.

He cited that Vietnam had created the best rice in the world, but actually only exported some tons while the results of that research would create a commercial value of millions of tons.

Agriculture is defined as the strength and pillar of the economy, so it needs to be high-tech agriculture, must be a chain of values. In fact, we talk a lot about linking 4 sides but still haven't promoted it, ” Long said.

According to Long, applied science and technology can assist to bring Vietnam's agricultural exports reach to US $ 400 billion instead of nowaday US $ 40 - 42 billion, with the requirement not to export raw products, from rice to coffee.

A strong nation is one by far admired by the world

Speaking at the meeting, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc emphasized that the work of propaganda and training is one of three important pillars of Party building work. The three key pillars include politics, thought and organization playing a leading role, paving the way to ensure the longevity and comprehensive leadership of the Party.

The Prime Minister emphasized that "righteous talents are the national vitality", our Party and State always create favorable conditions for intellectuals, scholars and writers, artists to develop in both quantity and quality ...

The Prime Minister noted, the trend of globalization, the scientific and technological revolution, especially the 4.0 technology era, have created tremendous breakthroughs for all aspects of social life. From the 21st century onwards, not natural resources, land resources ... but human and knowledge are the most valuable resources.

Knowledge is the most important resource to create a nation's value. The mission of the ideologists is to remove the pressure to liberate and fly, ”the Prime Minister said.

According to the Prime Minister, the results obtained from the contingent of intellectuals, scholars and artists are very important, but they have not met the increasing demands of the country.

Although the intellectual staffs have increased in number and qualifications, there is still a lack of leading intellectuals presiding over major state research projects.

In culture and arts, there is still a lack of high-value works. There is still a part of intellectuals who are not fully aware of their duties, not devoting or spending much time on studying and researching.

And some individuals are not brave, straightforward, afraid to give themselves up, or even avoid to make their views on wrong matters. Some are also eager for gain, self-interest cause affecting true intellectuals, scientist, writers and artists.

The Prime Minister hopes that intellectuals, scientists, writers and artists will continue to contribute more to building an increasingly developed country, for the people are more and more prosperous.

Strong people are people who are by far admired by the world and must not be poor people. ”

In conclusion, the Prime Minister expected the intellectuals, scientists, writers and artists to join hands in building Vietnam for those above goals.
