By 2025, about 10% of newly-recruited talents willwork in State agencies, organisations and units, and the annual rate isexpected to be maintained at no less than 20% by 2030, with a vision until 2050.

The strategy highlighted the responsibility of nominators,and the need to ensure publicity, transparency and democracy in theintroduction and recognition of talents.

The Vietnam Fatherland Front, political-social,political-social-professional, social, and professional-social organisations,along with ministries, agencies and localities should play an active role in talentdetection and nomination, the strategy said.

Programmes and plans of cooperation in talent trainingwith foreign educational institutions should be worked out in line withregional and international standards, the strategy said, emphasising the needto enhance capacity for public units in the fields of scientific research,technology, education, health care, culture, social sciences and others throughhigh-quality personnel training and supply./.
