Vietnam needs a suitable way to build e-government: PM
Anh Kiet 06:45, 2018/09/21
Vietnam is still at the average level in e-government rankings both globally and regionally, so the country needs stronger resolve in the work.
Addressing the national e-government committee's first meeting in Hanoi on September 20, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc said that the policy for building e-government in Vietnam has been made long time ago, but Vietnam needs a suitable way to build e-government.

Building an e-government is one of the important contents of administrative reform towards realizing the government’s vision of a facilitating and action-oriented government of integrity, PM Phuc said.

Vietnam has been put by the United Nations the 88th out of 193 countries and territories in e-government and ranked sixth in the ASEAN region, after Singapore, Malaysia, Brunei, Thailand and the Philippines, Phuc said.

The PM added that Vietnam is still at the average level in e-government rankings both globally and regionally, so the country needs stronger resolve in the work. 

He requested the committee to assess the tasks and solutions to build e-government from now until 2025, especially barriers and obstacles in the deployment of tasks.

The PM asked the committee to discuss the issue of securing resources, prioritize financial resources, attract resources for e-government development, share databases, and propose indicators to be achieved.

He noted that the presence of four major IT companies in the national e-government committee demonstrates the public-private partnership in the field, and the participation of the PM and a Deputy PM in the committee reflects the high political determination to build an e-government. 

The PM required that the Ministry of Information and Communications build the version 2.0 of the Vietnam E-Government Architecture Framework in October, in line with the world trend of e-government and the Fourth Industrial Revolution, to submit to the PM for consideration and issuance.

He also urged accelerating the building of national databases on population, insurance, finance and land, with first priority given to the population database. 

On the occasion, the PM witnessed the signing of cooperation agreements on e-government building between the Government Office and the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the World Bank in Vietnam, along with regulations for coordination between the Government Office and the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Government Information Security Commission.
