He emphasised the need to further study special mechanisms, noting that it is essential to establish a mechanism to mobilise resources through public-private partnerships, drawing businesses and the public, to develop the infrastructure for science and technology, innovation, and digital transformation.

The PM stated that special mechanisms are also needed for managing science and technology activities; scientists and scientific works.

He also mentioned a special mechanism for attracting human resources, stating that there will be a mechanism to attract individuals working outside the state-owned sector, those working for private enterprises, and foreign talents.

Based on the aforementioned mechanisms, the Government leader stated that it is necessary to design 'special tools' for management, thus preventing violations, corruption, negative phenomena and wastefulness./.
