In 2024, Vietnam made remarkable strides with the rapid launch of the national population database, ensuring seamless data connection across 18 ministries and 63 localities. This facilitated over 1.3 billion queries and more than 537 million data synchronisation actions by September 2024.
The Government has focused on building a legal framework to improve the digital landscape, including strategies for information infrastructure, data, and semiconductor industries.
At the third meeting of the National Committee for Digital Transformation, Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh emphasised digital transformation as essential for rapid and sustainable development.
Vietnam ranked 71st in the UN's e-government survey, up 15 spots from 2022. Fiber optic internet use surpassed 82%, and 87% of the population used smartphones. A major milestone was Viettel's launch of the largest data center. These developments lay a solid foundation for Vietnam's ongoing digital journey./.
