During the two-day forum, young Vietnamese intellectuals examine ways to contribute to the national digital transformation program by 2025, with a vision for 2030. President of the Vietnamese Fatherland Front (VFF) Do Van Chien attributed Vietnam’s achievements to the contribution of Vietnamese intellectuals inside and outside the country.
