Prime Minister Chinh on Wednesday addressed a ceremony to mark the Vietnamese Science and Technology Day (May 18) and the 65th founding anniversary of the Ministry of Science and Technology and present Ta Quang Buu Award.

He recalled President Ho Chi Minh's advice 61 years ago at the first National Congress of Vietnam Science and Technology Popularization Association, which determined that science must come from production and must serve production and the masses, to improve labor productivity and improve people's lives.

The Prime Minister affirmed this advice has been a guideline for Vietnam's science and technology activities and that the contribution of science and technology and innovation to improving productivity, quality, efficiency and competitiveness is increasingly evident.
