Speaking at the meeting, Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung stated that digital transformation is more of an institutional revolution than a technological revolution. Therefore, the information and communications industry needs to change its way of thinking and working.
In the digital age, information is abundant, but only relevant information is valuable. It is necessary to find the difference and when placed correctly and in context, any difficult problem will find a solution.
Regarding telecommunications infrastructure, Mr. Nguyen Manh Hung said that digital infrastructure must be considered strategic infrastructure, equivalent to electricity and transportation.
Investment in telecommunications infrastructure must aim at providing people with telecommunications services to use, not at investing in telecommunications stations, and localities can research and use new telecommunications service provision technologies to provide services to people.
Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Manh Hung emphasized: In the digital technology revolution, awareness accounts for 70% of the role, technology only accounts for 30%. The information and communications industry of Lao Cai needs to innovate the way of thinking and doing, starting from small things to aim for bigger goals in the future.
Also at the meeting, representatives of Lao Cai agencies and units also raised difficulties, obstacles and recommendations related to telecommunications infrastructure, implementation of public telecommunications policies in the province; digital transformation in press activities; application of artificial intelligence.
