According to the Prime Minister, if we want to combine the strength of the nation and the strength of the times, internal and external strength, we cannot stand outside the general trend of the world. Reality shows that our country is on the right track with the focus on promoting digital transformation, green transformation, and infrastructure development. In particular, digital transformation, as we have been doing, has brought very clear benefits to the country and the people. Recently, General Secretary and President To Lam wrote an article about digital transformation to call on the whole country to focus on promoting digital transformation.

On April 22, 2022, the Prime Minister issued Decision No. 505/QD-TTg, accordingly, October 10 every year is designated as National Digital Transformation Day to: Accelerate the implementation of national digital transformation tasks, effectively implement the National Digital Transformation Program to 2025, with a vision to 2030; raise awareness among people and the whole society about the role, significance and benefits of digital transformation; promote the participation of the entire political system, synchronous actions at all levels and the participation of the entire population to ensure the success of digital transformation.

In 2024, the national digital transformation has the theme: "Developing the digital economy with 4 pillars of information technology industry, digitalization of economic sectors, digital governance, digital data - Important driving force for fast and sustainable socio-economic development".

The Prime Minister said that this is the third consecutive year that we have organized the Program to celebrate National Digital Transformation Day - this important event demonstrates the determination of the Party, State, political system, business community and people nationwide to join hands in national digital transformation, developing the digital economy, digital society and digital citizens.

The event also conveyed the Government's message of determination to pursue the digital transformation revolution in a profound, comprehensive, substantive and effective manner to promote rapid and sustainable socio-economic development, improve people's material and spiritual life and modernize national governance, bringing benefits to all people and the country.

In particular, if digital transformation is done well, Vietnam's ranking in digital transformation in the world will increase, contributing to building and developing the national brand, thereby promoting and attracting the best investment.

“We are behind in digital transformation, so we must have the spirit to catch up, move forward and surpass,” the Prime Minister said, pointing out three breakthroughs in digital transformation: digital institutions, digital infrastructure and digital people. The Prime Minister noted that this requires active participation, especially from leaders at all levels and sectors; at the same time, there must be no shortage of electricity or telecommunications signals, especially in remote areas.

The Prime Minister asked the delegates attending the Conference to focus on fully, objectively and accurately assessing the results achieved in national digital transformation in 2024, especially in the digital economy; propose strategic orientations, viewpoints, tasks and main solutions on digital transformation and digital economic development in the coming time so that in a short time we can go a long way.

Also at the program, government leaders, leaders of ministries, branches and organizations will dialogue and discuss with businesses and typical members of the Community Digital Technology Group.
