"In this context, digital transformation is a vital part of administrative reform,公众he said.

The Deputy Prime Minister emphasised that bridging the gap with developed countries could only be achieved through science, technology, digital transformation, and innovation. However, he also pointed out that one of the biggest obstacles to digital transformation was the institutional and policy framework.

Apart from formulating regulations, amending outdated decrees, the ministry needed to swiftly and urgently develop new decrees and regulations, ensuring that they meet the required standards, he said.

For specific sectors, especially those requiring special mechanisms, Deputy PM Quang noted the importance of tailored mechanisms.

Furthermore, the Deputy Prime Minister urged the ICT sector to rectify and put an end to media irregularities, implement the second phase of the National Development and Management Plan for the Press until  二0 二 五 to reorganise media agencies, and pay more attention to book publishing, as books always hold value in social life. — VNS
