Digital transformation contributes to fighting corruption and negativity

This is also the cause of our entire Party, army and people, contributing to realizing the aspiration of building a strong and prosperous country, with a prosperous and happy people, leaving no one behind in the new era - the era of national development.

In the context of international and regional situations with wars and conflicts, geopolitical tensions, and strategic competition, the Prime Minister said emerging trends have impacts and influences on every country and every economy.

That is the trend of digital transformation, green transformation, climate change response; connection between economies , especially infrastructure connection, traffic connection, digital connection; harmonious, sustainable, inclusive development, leaving no one behind.

Therefore, to combine the strength of the nation and the strength of the times, internal and external strength, one cannot stand outside the general trend of the world.

Digital transformation has also demonstrated very clear benefits for the country and the people. It contributes to fighting negativity and corruption, especially petty corruption.

Therefore, the Prime Minister believes that our country is on the right track in digital transformation, green transformation, and infrastructure development, which are big topics in the world that everyone needs and talks about.
