This morning (October 12), at the Government headquarters, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Chairman of the National Committee on Digital Transformation, chaired the program to celebrate National Digital Transformation Day 2024.
In his opening speech, the Prime Minister emphasized that digital transformation is an inevitable trend, an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority for rapid and sustainable development; it is the cause of the entire Party, the entire army, and the entire people, contributing to realizing the aspiration of building a strong and prosperous country, with a prosperous and happy people, leaving no one behind in the new era - the era of national development.
According to the Prime Minister, if we want to combine the strength of the nation and the strength of the times, internal and external strength, we cannot stand outside the general trend of the world. Reality shows that our country is on the right track with the focus on promoting digital transformation, green transformation, and infrastructure development. In particular, digital transformation, as we have been doing, has brought very clear benefits to the country and the people.
In 2024, the national digital transformation theme is: "Developing the digital economy with 4 pillars of information technology industry, digitalization of economic sectors, digital governance, digital data - Important driving force for fast and sustainable socio-economic development".
The Prime Minister said that this is the third consecutive year we have organized a program to celebrate National Digital Transformation Day - this important event demonstrates the determination of the Party, State, political system, business community and people nationwide to join hands in national digital transformation, developing the digital economy, digital society and digital citizens.
The event also conveyed the Government's message of determination to pursue the digital transformation revolution in a profound, comprehensive, substantive and effective manner to promote rapid and sustainable socio-economic development, improve people's material and spiritual life and modernize national governance, bringing benefits to all people and the country.
In particular, if digital transformation is done well, Vietnam's ranking in digital transformation in the world will increase, contributing to building and developing the national brand, thereby promoting and attracting the best investment.
"We are behind in digital transformation, so we must have the spirit to catch up, move forward and surpass," said the Prime Minister, pointing out three breakthroughs in digital transformation: digital institutions, digital infrastructure and digital people.
The Prime Minister noted that this requires active participation, especially from leaders at all levels and sectors; at the same time, there must be no shortage of electricity or telecommunications signals, especially in remote areas.
Also at the program, government leaders, leaders of ministries, branches and organizations will dialogue and discuss with businesses and typical members of the Community Digital Technology Group.
