Assessing the significance of the congress, which is taking place in Hanoi from January 19 to 25, Professor Thayer noted that the CPV’s congresses, usually held every five years, are always of great importance. The 14th congress takes place in a context in which Vietnam recognizes the need to adjust its “Doi moi” economic development model. Accordingly, one of the key tasks of the coming period is the use of science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation as the main driving forces for the country’s rapid and sustainable development.

He expressed his hope that Vietnam will achieve breakthroughs in human resources development, energy, digital transformation, and green energy, with outstanding results.

The professor also assessed that Vietnam has in place strategies, goals, and specific milestones. At the current stage, Vietnam clearly recognizes the need to adjust its development model, gradually shifting labor away from traditional agriculture and labor-intensive industries in order to retrain the workforce and encourage the younger generation to engage in new fields such as high-tech agriculture, smart manufacturing, and automation, moving toward the era of science and technology.
