Long emphasised that it is important to build and develop high-quality human resources because this is the decisive factor for success. Each union member, scientist, engineer, and worker needs to constantly learn to meet new market requirements.

Second is to promote innovation in agencies and enterprises, and encourage the spirit of mastering Vietnamese technology. Each unit and each trade union member needs to proactively apply new technology, turning scientific knowledge into value to serve socioeconomic development and ensure national defence and security.

He said he hoped that workers will focus on accelerating comprehensive digital transformation. This is considered the shortest way to improve labour productivity, increase national competitiveness, and at the same time help workers master new technology, improve working conditions, and increase incomes.
