The meeting aimed to give opinions on the Project "Summary of 15 years of implementing Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW, dated August 6, 2008 of the 10th Party Central Committee on building a contingent of intellectuals in the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country"; listen to the Central Inspection Commission report on the results of the inspection delegations of the Politburo and the Secretariat in 2022 and propose the Inspection Program of the Politburo and the Secretariat in 2023.

Vietnamese intellectuals contribute to promoting the country's rapid and sustainable development.

After listening to the Standing Office of the Steering Committee for Project Development, reporting on the content of the Project "Summary of 15 years of implementing Resolution No. 27-NQ/TW, dated August 6, 2008 of the 10th Party Central Committee on building a contingent of intellectuals in the period of promoting industrialization and modernization of the country", the Politburo discussed and agreed to assess that in the years of innovation, especially after 15 years of implementing Resolution 27-NQ/TW of the 10th Party Central Committee, the common awareness in the Party, the political system and the whole society about the role and position of intellectuals has become increasingly complete and comprehensive.

The Vietnamese intellectual community has grown rapidly in quantity, improved in quality, proactively and actively participated in scientific research, application and innovation; is a leading force in the Fourth Industrial Revolution and international integration; has made important contributions to the cause of national construction and defense. This group has become an important force promoting the realization of goals, tasks, strategies and plans for rapid and sustainable national development in the spirit of the Resolution of the 13th National Party Congress; contributing to consolidating the great national unity bloc on the basis of the worker-peasant-intellectuals alliance.

In addition to positive results, there are still some limitations and shortcomings such as: The system of legal documents related to the building and development of the intellectual team is not complete and synchronous. Resolutions are slow to be institutionalized into mechanisms and policies; there is a lack of breakthrough mechanisms and policies, especially policies to mobilize resources for training, fostering, attracting, rewarding and honoring intellectuals at home and abroad, especially elite intellectuals and leading scientists; investment is still scattered, not focused on key areas; there are not many strong scientific, educational, cultural and economic facilities. Practicing democracy, respecting and promoting initiative in research and creative activities for the intellectual team is still limited and inadequate... The structure of the intellectual team is still unreasonable in terms of profession, region and age; there are not many strong scientific collectives with prestige on par with the region and the world; there are not many great creative works.

The Politburo affirmed that Vietnamese intellectuals are a high-quality human resource, a creative labor force with the honor and duty to be pioneers, directly participating, contributing, building and defending the Fatherland, improving people's knowledge, training talents in all fields, making an important contribution to raising the intelligence and strength of the nation, promoting the country's rapid and sustainable development; creating a basis for improving the quality of the worker-farmer-intellectual alliance, promoting the strength of great national unity for the goal of a rich people, a strong country, democracy, fairness and civilization. Building a strong intellectual team in terms of quantity and quality, with a reasonable structure associated with promoting the role, responsibility and capacity of intellectuals in implementing the goals, tasks and strategies for socio-economic development... is the responsibility of the Party, the State, the political system and the whole society. Determining the focus on promoting institutional reform, mobilizing social resources; Respecting and promoting freedom of thought and academics, practicing democracy in creative research activities; having special mechanisms and policies to promote talents, elite intellectuals, and leading scientists, is creating the environment, conditions, and fundamental motivation to develop and promote the intellectual community.

The Politburo assigned the Project Steering Committee to receive comments from the Politburo and relevant agencies to complete the Project and report to the Politburo to submit to the Party Central Committee.

Continue to promote Party building and rectification and the political system
