Digital infrastructure strategy approved

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./.
