Creating a trusted environment for the development of digital government, digital economy, and digital society
On February 23, the main contents and implementation plan of the 'Information and Communications Infrastructure Planning for the 2021-2030 period, with a vision to 2050' were disseminated by the Ministry of Information and Communications to representatives of ministries, branches and large enterprises in the information and communications industry.
Chairing the conference to announce the planning, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam emphasized that the planning of information and communications infrastructure has a particularly important meaning and role in implementing strategic breakthroughs in building a synchronous and modern infrastructure system.
Because this plan defines the space and resources for the development of IT&T infrastructure, with the orientation of developing IT&T infrastructure into a new generation infrastructure, creating a new development space for the country, creating favorable conditions for the development of digital government, digital economy, and digital society.
“Effective implementation of planning will help to smarten socio-economic infrastructure, thereby effectively exploiting development resources, as well as creating new driving forces to promote faster, more effective and more sustainable socio-economic development,” the Deputy Minister emphasized.
According to Mr. Tran Minh Tan, Deputy Director in charge of the Institute of Information and Communications Strategy, the unit assigned by the Ministry of Information and Communications to develop the plan, in recent times, Vietnam's information and communications infrastructure has achieved many remarkable achievements. However, the digital era places high demands on the development of information and communications infrastructure to ensure the connection of development in the digital environment with the traditional physical development space, thereby creating a more favorable environment for innovation and enhancing national competitiveness.
Therefore, in the planning of the new phase of information and communication infrastructure, Vietnam sets high goals in developing information and communication infrastructure, creating infrastructure for the development of digital government, digital economy, and digital society. Information and communication infrastructure is a unified whole based on the connection between the postal network, digital infrastructure, IT industrial infrastructure, national digital transformation platforms and the system to ensure network information security and network security.
Information and communication infrastructure is also placed in the connection and synchronization within and between sectors to become the infrastructure of infrastructure, the foundation for the development of sectors and fields. In addition, information and communication infrastructure also aims at solutions to ensure social security, support the development of disadvantaged areas, narrow the regional development gap, and promote regional advantages across the country.
Mr. Tran Minh Tan also said that to achieve the high goals of the planning, many key solutions have been proposed, including some breakthrough solutions such as: stopping the deployment of old-generation mobile telecommunications technology according to the roadmap to convert the use of frequency bands for new technology, while planning to add new frequency bands to develop new-generation mobile technologies 4G, 5G and next generations; focusing on developing 5G networks from 2025; allocating telecommunications resources according to market mechanisms sufficient to ensure the provision of telecommunications service quality on par with the region and the world;
The policy allows data centers to apply the mechanism of direct electricity purchase at the source, allows regional data centers to apply specific mechanisms, prioritizes locations in regional and international financial centers of Vietnam; promulgates policies to encourage and require the use of shared national digital platforms; promotes data connection and interconnection to improve the efficiency of infrastructure exploitation, saving social resources; builds key laboratories to develop key Make in Vietnam products to serve the digital government, digital economy, digital society, digital transformation, smart manufacturing, smart agriculture, etc.

The Deputy Minister further noted that the Institute of Information and Communications Strategy not only needs to be proactive in implementation but also needs to be proactive in coordination, finding new ways of doing things, and finding good solutions in implementation. To be timely, planning management data must be correct, complete, comprehensive, and most importantly, aiming for "real-time, live data", applying digital technology to automatically warn based on scenarios to be ready to adapt to fluctuations.
