Encourage direct personnel to report new approaches
According to a report from the Office of the Ministry of Information and Communications, in the first 3 months of 2024, the revenue of the entire information and communication industry is estimated to reach 971.000 billion VND.

In addition to sharing data on industry development, at each state management conference, the Ministry of Information and Communications also chooses to present a number of thematic reports to provide new perspectives and good practices. .
With the huge amount of data generated every day, many problems arise related to data management and ownership. Therefore, Deputy Director in charge of the Institute of Information and Communications Strategy (Ministry of Information and Communications) Tran Minh Tan introduced a new concept called co-created data. This type of data is formed by 2 or more clues.
According to Mr. Tan, the emergence of co-created data raises many issues about determining usage and ownership rights. While there is no Data Law, to avoid conflicts, businesses need to carefully review the terms of contracts when dealing with data.
The Information Center (Ministry of Information and Communications) has presented a number of changes in policy communication methods. The Information Center has formed a network with the participation of units within the Ministry, representatives of many press agencies and local Information and Communications Departments.
A new point in the policy communication activities of the Ministry of Information and Communications is its active presence on social networking platforms. The Information Center has established official accounts of the Ministry of Information and Communications on Facebook, TikTok and Zalo.
Along with this, the Information Center's policy communication activities have changed towards "fast, on-site and mobile". Deputy Minister Pham Duc Long highly appreciated the changes and effectiveness seen in the activities of the Information Center. This approach reflects the Minister's "fast, short, broad" spirit.
Strengthen management activities of the information and communication industry
At the Conference, leaders of the Ministry of Information and Communications continuously urged units on what to do immediately. The first is to correct the slow and late situation in implementing tasks. Accordingly, the heads of units in the Ministry are required to review all assigned work, and if they cannot be done, they need to report back soon. At the same time, soon take measures to guide and implement the documents and regulations that the Ministry of Information and Communications has issued, especially decrees that are being delayed.

Departments must also perfect measurement methods and publish industry development indicators in their management fields in the second quarter of this year.

With the incident where the information system of VNDIRECT Securities Company was attacked, causing service paralysis, the incident clearly showed the importance of investing in information security.
