The upcoming official visit to Singapore by Member of the Political Bureau and Standing Member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of Viet Nam (CPV) Central Committee Tran Cam Tu is expected to create fresh momentum to turn the two countries’ major orientations into concrete, breakthrough cooperation programmes and projects that generate long-term value, with small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) playing an important role in implementation.

Party General Secretary and State President To Lam chaired a meeting of the Standing Board of the Central Steering Committee for the Development of Science, Technology, Innovation and Digital Transformation, giving opinions on the project “Research, application and development of quantum technology for socio-economic development and ensuring national defence and security” in Ha Noi on the morning of May 21.

Science, technology, and innovation are recognised as the key drivers of Viet Nam’s new growth model. The challenge is no longer simply conducting more research, but producing technology products with real-world application and measurable impact.
