This initiative is aimed at giving people the benefits of digital transformation while giving digital businesses access to more customers.

Nguyen Huy Dung, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications, said: “We want to promote basic digital skills including using online public services, shopping online, paying online, and protecting yourself against online dangers and risks. As the average person spends 5-6 hours a day on the internet, we want, through its campaigns, to promote remote medical examination and treatment, reading, and the use of other digital products and services in addition to news and entertainment."

The Ministry will celebrate National Digital Transformation Day, with the theme "Digital transformation solves society's problems for a better life”, to motivate people to enjoy the benefits of digital transformation and promote the digital transformation process.
