The Government Office is going to build a paperless office and proceed toward a paperless government.
Minister - Head of Vietnam’s Government Office Mai Tien Dung emphasized Vietnam’s need for more support from the World Bank in building the infrastructure, improving capacity and developing e-government, the government portal reported.
During his meetings with the WB’s Vice President Victoria Kwakwa in Washington D.C., the minister said Vietnam saw significant improvements in socio-economic development in 2018 with robust growth in manufacture. Inflation was well controlled and the economy expanded 7.08%, the highest growth rate over the past 11 years.
Thanks to the WB’s support in building e-government, Vietnam launched the National E-Document Exchange Platform that helps substitute paper documents into e-documents. As a result, e-documents exchange is carried out quickly and safely from the central government to other ministries or agencies and vice-versa. The Government Office is going to build a paperless office and proceed toward a paperless government, Dung said.
