This is also why the Vietnamese National Assembly decided to host and coordinate with the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) to organize the 9th Global Young Parliamentarians Conference with the theme "The Role of Youth in Promoting the Implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals through Digital Transformation and Innovation". The Chairman of the National Assembly requested FPT to participate in the exhibition showcasing Vietnam's achievements in the field of digital transformation and innovation within the framework of the conference.

According to the Speaker of the National Assembly, Indonesia is a country with many major regional initiatives, for example, they are proposing to establish a QR Code center for the entire ASEAN region. The Speaker of the National Assembly hopes that FPT will research and proactively participate; at the same time, they should focus on promoting their role as a role model and a key point, actively participating in promoting and connecting businesses from both countries to invest in each other's markets.

The Speaker of the National Assembly stated that the National Assembly and the Government have issued numerous legal documents, perfecting the legal framework to serve digital transformation and information technology, along with many related legal documents, such as those concerning e-visas… This will create more favorable conditions for technology businesses to develop. The Speaker of the National Assembly hoped that technology businesses in general, and FPT in particular, would continue to achieve new successes and contribute to promoting the growth of bilateral trade between Vietnam and Indonesia.
