Ho Chi Minh City in the journey of innovation
Ho Chi Minh City is not only a symbol of innovation but also a center for convergence and development of cultural, educational and training values of the whole country. The city has always been a leader in promoting economic and policy breakthroughs. As an economic expert and currently Chairman of the Advisory Council for the implementation of Resolution 98, Dr. Tran Du Lich emphasized the important contribution of Ho Chi Minh City in the journey of national renewal, especially in removing "bottlenecks" in institutions and mechanisms.
Ho Chi Minh City is a pioneer in developing a multi-component commodity economy, operating under a market mechanism managed by the State, thereby playing a leading role in the national economy, contributing greatly to GDP. Dr. Tran Du Lich affirmed: "Ho Chi Minh City is not only leading in economy but also makes an important contribution to the country's innovation and development".
With practical development, Ho Chi Minh City always identifies "bottlenecks" in operations and issues that are not regulated by law or are not suitable that have been considered by the Central Government to allow the city to conduct a pilot, creating a foundation for institutional innovation.
According to Mr. Tran Du Lich, the content of the rising era includes: 5 main contents. First, in terms of economy, it is necessary to shift from a "developing" to a prosperous economy, with a strong increase in production. This requires increased production, deep participation in the global value chain, promoting the fields of digital economy and green economy, thereby promoting the typical advantages of Vietnam.
Next, we must be proud of national culture, preserve and develop traditional cultural values along with national history. At the same time, strongly invest in education and scientific research, to adapt to global trends.
In terms of foreign affairs, Vietnam needs to continue to enhance its role in the international arena, affirming a strong presence in the international community. Finally, protecting sovereignty and national security is a top priority, especially in the context of globalization, to affirm an independent and self-reliant economy.
In order to enter the era of the nation, Ho Chi Minh City needs to make more efforts and innovate.The city must promote the development of development, creating strong transitions.It is necessary to switch from the application-for-service mechanism to the service mechanism, with the spirit of serving the people and businesses, considering businesses as a resource and main motivation to promote the development of the city.
The breakthrough chance of Ho Chi Minh City in the new period
To achieve the double-digit growth target and become a global city, Ho Chi Minh City needs to develop with planning, focusing on and implementing dual transformation - green transformation and digital transformation. The city must take the lead in implementing Resolution 57 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in developing science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation. Dr. Tran Du Lich emphasized that if Ho Chi Minh City is not successful in implementing Resolution 57, it will be difficult for any locality to do so, because the city has a tradition of dynamism and creativity.
With Resolution 98 of the National Assembly on piloting specific mechanisms and policies for the development of Ho Chi Minh City, Mr. Tran Du Lich believes that institutional "bottlenecks" will gradually be removed. This is an opportunity for Ho Chi Minh City to have flexible institutional and policy space, mobilize resources and promote its role as an economic locomotive. The city needs to determine its position and role in the next 10 years and maintain a high GRDP to lead development.
Ho Chi Minh City needs to quickly handle backlogged works and projects and completely resolve traffic congestion, synchronize the road system, make breakthroughs in urban railways and develop the Ho Chi Minh City area.
With a tradition of dynamism, creativity and the spirit of daring to think and daring to do, Ho Chi Minh City is facing a great opportunity to affirm its position as an economic locomotive and a pioneer in innovation in the country. Specific mechanisms and policies with clear development orientations will help the city maximize its potential and advantages and mobilize all resources, strongly rise in the era of integration and sustainable development, towards the goal of becoming a global city, contributing worthyly to the overall development of the country.
