Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh speaks at the meeting.

The meeting also looked into the Government’s project on developing resident data, electronic identification, and authentication applications to serve the national digital transformation until 2025, with a vision to 2030, known as Project 06.

Mr. Chinh, who is also Chairman of the National Committee for Digital Transformation, called the project a bright spot and a good model in national digital transformation.

In Vietnam, promoting growth, restructuring the economy, exploring new growth drivers and emerging industries are all closely related to digital transformation, said Mr. Chinh, adding the Government has drastically directed and comprehensively deployed solutions to realize the national digital transformation, promote digital transformation in most fields, and improve institutions and policy mechanisms to develop digital government, digital economy, digital society, and digital citizens.

To reach the targets set under the National Digital Transformation Program and Project 06, more work needs to be done, he said, stressing drastic and concerted instructions from the central to grassroots levels would help deal with bottlenecks in the implementation.

The PM asked participants to identify key tasks and breakthrough solutions during the remaining months of this year and beyond.

Focus should be made on developing digital economy to boost economic growth, increase the connection and integration on digital platforms and database, ensure cyber security and safety, raise the efficiency of online public services, and push ahead with administrative reform.
