On July 19, Prime Minister Pham Minh, Chairman of the National Committee on Digital Transformation , chaired the Government Standing Committee meeting on digital transformation. In his concluding remarks, the Prime Minister assigned the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Information and Communications, and the Government Office to receive comments, complete, and submit for promulgation the Government's Resolution on digital transformation for unified implementation in the coming period.

The development of digital platforms and digital data has not yet overcome the situation of "information fragmentation, isolation, separation, and clustering of data". Pointing out a number of key tasks and solutions, the Prime Minister requested implementation according to the principle of "leadership and direction from top to bottom, but implementation and problem solving must be from bottom to top". The State Bank of Vietnam should soon complete and submit to the Government for promulgation the "Decree on Controlled Testing Mechanism in the Banking Sector".
