Looking ahead to 2035, Vietnam envisions becoming a comprehensive and sustainable digital nation where all transactions between citizens and government agencies are conducted online. National databases, with population data at the core, will be interconnected and efficiently utilised to support smart governance and real-time decision-making.
Prime Minister Le Minh Hung praised ministries and agencies for their proactive steps since the beginning of this year and especially from early April to follow the Politburo’s Resolution 57 and Conclusion 18, with clear, positive progress.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh called for the rollout of a strategic technology development programme, alongside the completion of incentive policies to attract tech giants and develop key tech products, particularly in semiconductors and AI.
Emphasising three strategic digital breakthroughs - digital institutions, digital infrastructure and digital human resources - PM Chinh called for close integration of science and technology development, innovation, administrative reforms, digital transformation and Project 06 with efforts to streamline the organisational apparatus and modernise leadership, management and working styles.
Many national digital platforms have been developed, with 21 out of 84 platforms already having deployment plans. The digital economy continues to expand, with revenues increasing by 28.2% year-on-year; hardware and electronics exports reaching 111.4 billion USD, up 27% year-on-year, achieving 70% of the 2025 target.
To date, the institutional framework, mechanisms, and policies have been fundamentally completed, providing a legal foundation for the development of science, technology, innovation, digital transformation, and the implementation of Project 06. These areas have seen remarkable progress: 5G services have been rolled out nationwide; mobile internet speed has surged into the global top 20; and the National Data Centre project is being aggressively implemented.
On the morning of July 20, 2025, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, Head of the Government’s Steering Committee for Science, Technology, Innovation, Digital Transformation, and Project 06, chaired the committee’s third meeting to review progress made in the first half of the year, and set out tasks for the remainder of 2025. In the first six months, ministries, sectors, and localities completed 76 out of 106 tasks under the Action Programme implementing Resolution 57.
PM Pham Minh Chinh stressed that citizens and businesses must be placed at the centre of the process, asking competent sides to arrange sufficient resources and ensure institutional perfection, which he described as “breakthrough of breakthroughs”, to lead the way for science-technology development.
PM Pham Minh Chinh called for renewed determination, decisive actions, and focus-driven efforts to achieve the growth target of 8.3–8.5% for 2025, stressing the need for clear responsibilities, timelines, and measurable outcomes.

Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh requested localities to set up task forces to crack down on smuggling, trade fraud, counterfeit goods, copyright infringement, and intellectual property violations, given the recent bust involving 100 tonnes of counterfeit pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements.
Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh has directed the Ministry of Public Security to work alongside ministries and sectors to finalise the development of specialised databases aimed at enhancing the quality of online public services.
The directive states that the Politburo has identified "the development of science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation as a key breakthrough, a main driving force for rapidly developing modern productive forces, perfecting production relations, innovating national governance methods, socio-economic development, preventing the risk of backwardness, and propelling the country to significant development and prosperity in the new era."
