The center also showcases technologies, hosts dialogues and consultations, and facilitates experience-sharing and partnership-building. It has welcomed delegations from over 150 countries who came to learn from the e-Estonia model.
At the center, PM Pham Minh Chinh and the Vietnamese delegation engaged in in-depth discussions with the Estonian side on key issues, including digital transformation solutions for populous countries like Vietnam, resources needed for the transformation, and the roles of government and technology enterprises in the process. Topics also included ensuring digital security and safety, sharing and linking data, and making it easier for people to access and use digital services, particularly online public services.
The Government leader affirmed that digital transformation is an objective requirement, a strategic choice, and a top priority for Vietnam’s development.
He suggested the center and Estonia to cooperate, share expertise, and support Vietnam in this journey. In the immediate term, he proposed the center send a delegation to Vietnam to share experience and inspire motivation in the areas of digital government, digital society, and digital citizens.
Petra Holm, head of digital transformation at the center, warmly welcomed the PM’s proposals and confirmed the center’s readiness to send a delegation to share experience and support Vietnam in digital transformation.
