At the working session, after listening to reports and opinions exchanged and discussed, General Secretary and President To Lam made a concluding speech, appreciating the agencies for proactively researching and monitoring the worlds new development trends, initially proposing a number of important directions, tasks and solutions. However, this is a very new, very difficult, rapidly evolving issue, related to science and technology, national security, strategic industrial digital transformation and the countrys long-term competitiveness. Therefore, we must continue to conduct deeper, more methodical, more strategic research to build and complete an important project on developing quantum technology in Vietnam in the coming period, serving the countrys development, with the requirement of strategic autonomy. The General Secretary and President emphasized that we must agree to perceive quantum technology as a national strategic issue, not just a matter of simple scientific research. Therefore, the issue of developing quantum technology must be placed in the overall implementation of Resolution 57 of the Politburo and the countrys development strategy in the new era, associated with ensuring national security, national data, semiconductor industry, artificial intelligence, space technology... If these goals are separated, quantum can easily become an expensive research program but rarely converted into national strength.

Therefore, we must choose the right direction suitable to Vietnams conditions; Gradually build the countrys substantive capacity in areas where it can participate and master. The spirit is to go early in awareness, go firmly in the foundation, go right to the steps that can create real capacity and real value; To build quantum technology capacity, it is necessary to select a number of priority research directions suitable to Vietnams conditions and associated with Vietnams practical problems. The General Secretary and President proposed that the first priority should be given to the issue of national digital security and sovereignty, ensuring to be proactive early, from afar, not to be passive or surprised. International cooperation in the field of quantum must be strong, selective and substantive, serving the goal of improving Vietnams self-reliance capacity, and should not turn international cooperation into a new dependence. The General Secretary and President emphasized, focusing on investment with focus and focus. Do not invest widely, fragmented, each place does a little, equipment is scattered, cannot create synergy. Strong research centers, key laboratories, excellent research groups and effective coordination mechanisms between research institutes, universities, businesses and defense and security agencies must be formed; Research prioritizes a trend with feasibility and great impact. The General Secretary and President noted that it is necessary to innovate the way of evaluating scientific research results, valuing long-term accumulated capacity because top science cannot be developed with short-term thinking and achievements; There must be risk acceptance and control in scientific research. Therefore, the management mechanism must distinguish between scientific failure, honesty, waste, formality or lack of responsibility. Pay special attention to human resources and innovation ecosystems; There must be a national program to train human resources in quantum technology, with a special mechanism to attract and utilize talented people; build strong domestic research groups; Strengthen international cooperation, attract Vietnamese scientists abroad and international experts to participate in building quantum capacity for Vietnam.

Dont let quantum technology just stay in the laboratory or the classroomProjects and inventions must be put into practice and have products. Regarding building human resources and developing the research team, the General Secretary and President emphasized that a national quantum program can only be successful if it is placed on the foundation of scientific culture, purity and high academic discipline; must inspi
