Party chief chairs meeting of Politburo, Secretariat

Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong on April 7 chaired a meeting of the Party Central Committee’s Politburo and Secretariat on a project reviewing the implementation of a resolution on building the contingent of intellectuals in the period of accelerating industrialisation and modernisation.

The Resolution was adopted by the 10th Party Central Committee in 2008.

The Politburo said during years of Doi Moi (Reform), especially after the issuance of the resolution, the common perceptions within the Party, the political system and the society on the role and position of intellectuals have been improved comprehensively.

Vietnamese intellectuals have grown in terms of both quality and quantity, and played an active role in scientific research and application.

The Politburo, however, noted that limitations still remain, taking the examples of those relating legal documents, mechanisms and policies, as well as the structure of intellectuals.

It affirmed that building a strong contingent of intellectuals is the responsibility of the Party, the State, the entire political system and the society./.
