In the current context, digital transformation is not only a technological trend but also a key driving force for institutional reform, enhancing national governance capacity, and promoting sustainable development. This is reflected in two important resolutions: Resolution 68 and Resolution 57.
Institutionalization by resolution
Resolution 68 focuses on enhancing national competitiveness and perfecting the socialist-oriented market economy institutions. A notable highlight is the policy of promoting digital transformation in state management and economic activities, considering data as a new development resource.
The implementation of Resolution 68 aims to standardize and interconnect data between management agencies, develop national data infrastructure and a legal framework for data governance, promote the digital economy, digital government , and business models based on digital platforms.
In practice, Resolution 68 has strongly promoted administrative procedure reform and shifted the management model from "pre-inspection" to "post-inspection," creating a more transparent and favorable business environment for businesses and citizens.
Many ministries and agencies have proactively cut and simplified hundreds of administrative procedures, creating favorable conditions for the development of the private sector. The policy of applying digital technology and digitizing management and monitoring processes in production and business activities contributes to reducing operating costs, expanding markets, and enhancing competitiveness, creating conditions for businesses to access capital, land, and develop value chains.
Previously, Resolution 57 set forth the requirement for fundamental and comprehensive reform of lawmaking, with a central focus on "digitizing the legislative process." The digitalization mindset here goes beyond simply using technology; it encompasses improving the entire value chain of legislative activity: from surveying, drafting, and soliciting opinions to impact assessment and monitoring implementation.
The practical impact of Resolution 57 is that it paves the way for the formation of a "digital parliament" and a "digital government," creating an institutional foundation adapted to the digital economy based on the development of science, technology and innovation, promoting comprehensive digital transformation in state management, providing online public services, and personalizing services based on digital data.
The deployment of digital platforms and the management of records and administrative procedures using digital technology have increased the efficiency of services for the people and businesses, creating momentum for a shift in mindset, fostering internal creativity, and encouraging scientists, experts, and businesses to work together to improve institutions with many specific policies for the national digital transformation process.
From policy to reality
It can be said that the Party's Resolutions 68 and 57 are creating significant changes, laying the foundation for the digitalization of national institutions, demonstrating Vietnam's strong efforts in transforming from traditional administrative governance to smart, data-driven governance.
Initiatives such as the National Database System, the National Public Service Portal, the VNeID electronic identification system, and the data analytics platform for decision-making reflect this progress.
Vietnam has issued a system of indicators to assess the effectiveness of digital transformation in state administration, built on multiple criteria to comprehensively measure the level of application of digital technology in management activities, public service delivery, and institutional reform.
The main indicator groups for evaluating digital transformation include: indicators related to online public services; indicators related to digital infrastructure and data interoperability; indicators related to cybersecurity and digital security; and indicators related to institutions, policies, and human resource capacity.
The development and use of indicators to assess the effectiveness of digital transformation helps the government accurately grasp the progress and quality of work, thereby enabling timely adjustments to the digital government development strategy and improving the capacity to serve citizens and businesses. These indicators also enhance transparency and accountability in the national digital transformation process.
However, the digital transformation journey still faces significant challenges: inconsistent data infrastructure, limited technological human resource capacity, and especially the need for a shift in management thinking to align with a comprehensive digital transformation model. The success of this process depends on the level of cooperation between the government, the private sector, and the people in co-creating digital institutions.
To date, Vietnam's digital transformation process has achieved significant initial results. However, to achieve a breakthrough in the coming period, new and synchronized solutions are needed in terms of legal framework, technology, human resources, and social cooperation. Most importantly, it is crucial to complete the legal framework for data, e-government, and digital transactions to create a legal foundation for the stable development of the digital economy and digital society.
The National Assembly has reviewed, discussed, and passed a series of laws related to national digital transformation, such as: the Law on Electronic Transactions, the Law on Identity Cards, the Law on Data, the Law on Digital Technology Industry, the Law on Personal Data Protection, the Law on Artificial Intelligence, and the Law on Digital Transformation… Among them, the Law on Digital Transformation is the newest and most important law and the overall legal framework for digital transformation in Vietnam.
