This content is stated in Notice No. 25-TB/CQTTBCĐ of the Party Central Committee Office - Standing Agency of the Central Steering Committee for Science, Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation on the Conclusion Notice of General Secretary, President To Lam, Head of the Central Steering Committee at the thematic session on digital transformation in the political system (Notice No. 25-TB/CQTTBCĐ).
Notice No. 25-TB/CQTTBCĐ clearly states that on June 25, 2026, at the Party Central Committee Headquarters, General Secretary, President To Lam, Head of the Central Steering Committee for Science, Technology Development, Innovation and Digital Transformation (Steering Committee) chaired a thematic meeting on digital transformation in the political system.
After listening to the report of the Standing Agency of the Steering Committee and the discussion opinions of the delegates attending the meeting, General Secretary, President To Lam, Head of the Steering Committee concluded as follows:
1. After more than a year of drastically implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW, dated December 22, 2024 of the Politburo on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation (hereinafter referred to as Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW), digital transformation work in the political system has had positive and quite comprehensive changes. Knowledge of digital transformation has been raised; institutions and policies have been gradually improved.
Some important laws on data, digital transformation and artificial intelligence have been promulgated; many digital platforms and important databases have been formed and put into operation; sending and receiving electronic documents, processing work files, online meetings, providing online public services, exploiting population data and electronic identification are increasingly becoming substantive and effective; the work of ensuring security and safety of information and data systems is being given more attention. Digital transformation has made an important contribution to ensuring the smooth operation of the political system, serving the operation of the new organizational model and 3-level government.
Some effective models and methods have been verified in practice and need to be further improved, disseminated and replicated. The Standing Committee of the Steering Committee acknowledges and commends the central and local agencies of the four blocs: Party, National Assembly, Government, and Fatherland Front for their efforts in implementing tasks in the past time. Besides the achieved results, there are still many limitations and bottlenecks that need to be urgently overcome.
2. Through reports and discussions at the Meeting, besides the specific shortcomings and limitations, three major paradoxes that need to be focused on handling emerged:
Firstly, while resources for digital transformation are still limited, resources that have been rearranged have not been used effectively. The disbursement rate to date has reached more than 12.2%, much lower than the general disbursement rate of public investment capital of the whole country. While many agencies and localities, especially at the commune level, still lack terminal equipment, technical infrastructure and resources to clean up and standardize data, the rearranged capital is slow to be put into use.
Secondly, while agencies have invested in many systems, platforms and databases, the level of intercommunication, sharing and exploitation of data is not commensurate with investment resources and management requirements; data has not really become a resource serving national governance, digital economy development and improving the quality of service to people and businesses.
The reality at the commune level shows that systems, software and data are scattered and lack intercommunication; cadres and civil servants have to simultaneously operate on many systems deployed by central and local agencies, causing duplication of operations, increasing work processing pressure, affecting the quality of service to people and businesses. This reflects that investment is still scattered, lacks standardization and has not clarified the responsibility for integrating and sharing the system.
Thirdly, there is great political determination, but the results of implementation in many places are not commensurate, still formalistic, coping, and lacking substantive changes. In the same institutional and policy conditions, some agencies and localities implement well, while some places are still slow, mainly citing difficulties and obstacles. The rate of implementing online public services, digitizing dossiers and reusing data in localities is much higher than in some central ministries and sectors, while ministries and sectors must be the place to lead, build institutions, standardize data and processes.
The above three paradoxes show that the biggest bottleneck today is no longer in awareness, policy or resource allocation, but in the ability to organize implementation and responsibility to the end of each agency and unit, especially the head. Therefore, the central requirement in the coming time is to tighten enforcement discipline, clearly define responsibilities, evaluate according to output products and promote the responsibility of the head.
3. Regarding tasks in the coming time, the Steering Committee agreed with the recommendations and proposals in the Report of the Standing Agency, including a group of tasks that need to be thoroughly resolved within 100 days and a group of tasks that need to be implemented to create breakthroughs; and at the same time requested to focus on implementing the following 6 key tasks:
First, focus on thoroughly handling overdue tasks, overdue documents and bottlenecks identified at the Meeting. The presiding agencies must review each task, clearly identify responsibilities, products and completion deadlines; take responsibility to the end for progress and quality; do not allow delays to be prolonged for many months or quarters. Implementation results must be quantified by specific targets and used as a basis for evaluating the level of task completion of collectives and individuals, especially heads.
Second, promote the development of data and shared platforms. Identify data as a strategic resource, the foundation of digital transformation, so it must be created, managed, connected, shared and exploited effectively according to the principle of "right, sufficient, clean, living, unified, shared"; creating practical value for the operation of agencies, organizations, people, businesses, developing the data market and contributing to economic growth.
Agencies and localities must identify building, updating, cleaning and managing data as their political responsibility, not a separate task of specialized information technology agencies. From now until the end of 2026, focus on general review, cleaning, standardizing, connecting and organizing data exploitation in the entire political system. Ministries and sectors urgently complete the creation and standardization of specialized databases; connect and share with the National Data Center for exploitation and common use according to regulations; prioritize the development and use of shared digital infrastructure and digital platforms, limit individual investment, duplication, and wastefulness.
Continue to identify vehicles and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs); urgently promote VNeID connection with the electronic identification system of Singapore and ASEAN countries, and expand domestic applications and utilities, serving people, businesses and state management.
Third, promote digital transformation tasks to serve the operation of the political system and 3-level government synchronously, smoothly, and effectively. Focus on completing digital infrastructure from the Central to commune levels; ensuring full conditions on equipment, connections, platforms and human resources for agencies and governments at all levels to operate smoothly in the digital environment. Continue to promote administrative procedure reform associated with digital transformation; complete the National Public Service Portal, ensuring stable, smooth, and effective operation.
For information and data that is already in databases and can be exploited and reused, the principle of not requiring people and businesses to declare and provide it again must be thoroughly grasped. The quality of online public service provision must be assessed by the actual level of use, convenience and time, cost savings for people and businesses, not only by the number of procedures provided online.
Fourth, proactively develop and apply safe, controlled, and effective artificial intelligence. Identify artificial intelligence as an important support tool to improve the quality, efficiency of work and labor productivity, but not to replace human responsibilities, authority and decisions.
The development and application of artificial intelligence must be for the right purpose, within the right authority, responsibly, avoid abuse; prioritize concentrated, shared models, limit scattered, duplicated, and wasteful investment. At the same time, it is necessary to absolutely ensure national security, information security and data protection right from the design and use stage of artificial intelligence.
Fifth, firmly ensure network security, information security and national data protection. All information systems, databases and digital platforms must be designed, built and operated according to the requirements of ensuring security and safety from the beginning; do not allow the situation of completing deployment and then supplementing protection solutions.
Agencies, units, and localities are primarily responsible for security and safety of information systems and data within their management scope; urgently complete the classification and determination of information system safety levels; review the entire process of collecting, storing, connecting, sharing and exploiting data; tighten account management, decentralize access and supervise data exploitation activities. Absolutely do not let national data, data of people and businesses be leaked, leaked, bought, sold or illegally exploited.
The Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of National Defense, the Government Cipher Committee, the Ministry of Science and Technology, according to their assigned functions and tasks, urgently complete the system of standards, regulations, monitoring mechanisms, early warning, incident response and data protection in the entire political system; improve proactive defense capabilities in cyberspace; regularly inspect, evaluate and organize cybersecurity exercises for important and key information systems.
The Ministry of Public Security shall preside over and coordinate with the Party Central Committee Office to connect the National Cyber Security Center with the Resolution Monitoring System (at the address theodoinq. dcs. vn) to monitor, supervise, and warn about information security and network security.
Sixth, strengthen leadership and direction, innovate the mechanism of inspection, supervision, and evaluation of results according to output products. The task is only determined to be completed when there are specific products that can be operated, have verified data, have users and create real effectiveness. Party committees, Party organizations, heads of ministries, branches, localities, agencies, and units must clearly recognize their responsibilities, directly direct and be responsible for the progress, quality, and effectiveness of digital transformation under their responsibility; set an example in using digital platforms and tools in leadership, management, and operation.
The results of implementation must be included in the criteria for assessing the level of task completion, emulation, and commendation; promptly consider and handle responsibilities for collectives and individuals who are slow, formalistic, and do not meet requirements. The Central Inspection Committee and inspection committees at all levels develop plans to inspect and supervise the leadership, direction, and organization of the implementation of Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW at agencies, units, and localities.
4. Request the Party Committees of Central Party agencies, the Government Party Committee, the National Assembly Party Committee, the Fatherland Front Party Committee, and central mass organizations, according to their functions and tasks, to lead and direct central and local agencies to focus on organizing the implementation of specific tasks in the 100-day Action Plan to handle bottlenecks in digital transformation in the political system and groups of tasks to be deployed to create breakthroughs (in the Attached Appendix), regularly update progress and perform tasks on the Doinq. dcs. vn System. Assign the Standing Agency and the Working Group to monitor and urge the implementation of agencies and localities, and promptly report to the Steering Committee.
5. Request Party committees, Party organizations, agencies, units, and localities at all levels to improve determination, drastic action, clearly define responsibilities, products and results; create clear changes right in 2026, making digital transformation truly become a driving force for innovating Party leadership methods, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of national governance, promoting socio-economic development and innovating growth models.
6. Assign the Office of the Party Central Committee - the Standing Agency of the Steering Committee to preside over and coordinate with relevant agencies to research and propose the organization of a thematic session on science, technology, and digital transformation to serve socio-economic development, contributing to the formation of production methods, development models and new growth drivers, serving the goal of double-digit growth and sustainable development.
It is proposed that each member of the Steering Committee, heads of ministries, agencies, and localities directly direct the review of all tasks under their management; clearly identify slow-progress tasks, bottlenecks, causes, responsibilities and handling deadlines. The organization of implementation must ensure: Clear people, clear tasks, clear responsibilities, clear authority, clear time, clear results; promote implementation discipline, proactive spirit, dare to think, dare to do, dare to take responsibility and exemplary responsibility of the head.
The Office of the Party Central Committee - the Standing Agency of the Steering Committee announces to members of the Steering Committee, Party committees at all levels, Party organizations, agencies, units and localities to know and implement.
