Estonian Deputy Foreign Minister Andres Rundu is looking forward to understanding Hanoi`s priorities in this field and promoting future cooperation between the two sides.
With its vast experience in building e-government since 2003, Estonia is willing to support Hanoi in this field, said Estonian Deputy Foreign Minister Andres Rundu at the meeting with Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung on March 4.

Andres Rundu praised Vietnam as one of the fastest growing countries in Southeast Asia, so the expectation of the two countries' economic cooperation is strengthened, on the basis of relations between Hanoi and the Estonian localities.

He also expected the chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee as well as partners from Hanoi and Vietnam will come to Estonia to learn about Estonian e-government experience for mutual development.

Especially, Estonia has strength in information technology (IT) and smart solutions on public transport. Thus, Andres Rundu is looking forward to understanding Hanoi's priorities in this field and promoting future cooperation between the two sides.

For his part, Chairman of the Hanoi People's Committee Nguyen Duc Chung agreed with Andres Rundu’s proposal, and briefed the guest on the capital’s socio-economic development and the city's goals in smart urban development and electronic government building.

As one of the 17 largest capitals in the world, in 2018, Hanoi ranked first in Vietnam in attracting foreign investment, the amount of investment in the last three years has made up 64% of the total over the past 30 years, Chung cited.

He added that city's average economic growth in the last eight years reached 7.85%. In the socio-economic development program, the city has made breakthroughs in highly qualified human resources training, infrastructure development and administrative reform. 

Regarding administrative reform, the city identifies IT as the main tool. From December 2015 until now, Hanoi has built a shared electronic administration from the city to districts and towns, Chung stressed.

Up to 100% of Hanoi enterprises now declare tax payment, 100% customs tax declaration online, ID card and passport procedures are processed online as well and the city is working towards digitizing all data of its citizens, he noted.

Besides, Hanoi also built 6.5 million medical records and ensured the enrolment of primary and secondary students online. Till the end of 2019, all administrative procedures will be implemented at stages 3, 4 out of a four-level classification, Chung added.
