Hanoi (VNA) – Permanent Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Hoa Binh recently signed a decision approving the digital infrastructure by 2025 with a vision to 2030.

Accordingly, the coverage of 5G mobile network is expected to reach all cities, provinces, high-tech zones, research and development centres, industrial parks, stations, ports and international airports by 2025 and 99% of the population by 2030.

The country aims to operate at least two new international undersea fiber optic cables, form AI Data Centres, and develop new data centres that meet international green standards by 2025 while putting into operation six new such cables and building Hyperscale Data Centres and Digital Hubs by 2030.

Additionally, each citizen is to have one Internet of Things (IoT) connection by 2025 and the figure is expected to increase to four connections in the next five years.

The adoption of digital signatures among the Vietnamese adult population is targeted to rise from over 50% to over 70% between 2025 and 2030.

In order to realise the set goals, the country will enhance investment in telecommunications and internet infrastructure, including fiber optics cables and new-generation wifi, and domestic and international transmission systems, ensuring backup demand and diverse, secure and sustainable connections.

Besides, due attention will be given to expanding 5G network coverage and service quality, carrying out Internet Protocol Version 6 (Ipv6) for the entire Internet network in the nation, developing and attracting investments in data infrastructure.

Vietnam will work to promote the development of physical-digital infrastructure in key areas such as smart transportation, health care, education, factories, agriculture, and tourism to improve the economy’s competitive edge. It will focus on building and promoting the interoperability between IoT devices and networks through middlewares, capitalising on the strengths of the cloud computing and other advanced technologies to develop industries.

Furthermore, the nation will develop digital platforms to automate socio-economic activities./.
