The centre has successfully built a SARS-CoV-2 testing procedure that has been recognised by the Ministry of Health, said the President.
He asked the centre to closely combine fundamental research with applied research as well as technology application and transfer, while strengthening the use of researching results and developing products with high science-technology contents.
The centre should expand research cooperation, modernising its infrastructure and technology to meet the demand of science-technology development in the new period, promoting its advantages in directly cooperating with and connecting science-technology and production facilities in Vietnam, Russia and other countries.
President Phuc said he believes that the centre will continue to make more achievements in the time to come, contributing to building elite and modern military and further promoting Vietnam-Russia friendship./.
