The Prime Minister positioned the digital economy as a growth driver and the digital society as the foundation, and called on ministries, local authorities, businesses and citizens to deliver “five pioneers” (institution-building, technology development, digital infrastructure, database development, and social responsibility) and “five have” (modern infrastructure, “right–enough–clean–live” interoperable shared data, high-quality digital human resources and universal digital skills, strong Vietnamese digital technology firms, and a safe and civilized digital environment). He also set out “five no”, including paperless and cashless transactions and removing administrative boundaries in transactions, alongside preventing waste, corruption and fragmented or closed operations, and ensuring no one is left behind in national digital transformation.
