National Assembly Chairman Tran Thanh Man speaks at the thematic conference on digital knowledge and skills framework for a modern legislature in Hanoi on September 13. |
For the first time, the conference employed thematic videos instead of traditional reports, introducing a digital skills framework and demonstrating how AI can support parliamentary work. It also showcased ChatGPT, clarifying key issues and concrete solutions to effectively advance the “mass digital literacy – digital N.A.” movement in the time to come.
In his speech, N.A. Chairman Man said that building on the achievements of the previous tenure in developing an electronic parliament, the legislature has upgraded and launched the “National Assembly 2.0” application with breakthrough advancements under the maximum support from the Ministry of Science and Technology, Viettel Group, a team of Singaporean experts.
The rollout of the application at the 9th regular session of the N.A. has been largely successful. Most officials, civil servants, and N.A. deputies, including members of the N.A. Council for Ethnic Affairs and N.A.’s committees have now used the app. This marks a significant shift in both awareness and practice.
Noting that these results are only an initial step, the top legislator underlined the need for a systematic rollout in the coming period, in line with the directives of Party General Secretary To Lam.
He said that the digital knowledge and skills framework, along with curricula and lesson plans, should be carried out quickly, ensuring training reaches the right people in accordance with their needs, adding that the materials must be designed to be easy to understand, remember, and apply.
Attention must be paid to developing e-learning curricula, online lessons, and mobile learning applications, and deploying to provincial- and commune-level people’s councils.
Furthermore, these programs should be integrated into the national digital platform, with learning outcomes recognized as a criterion for evaluating the performance of officials and Party members, linked to the emulation and commendation work, Man said.

The N.A. Chairman noted that the N.A. Office should continue coordinating with the Party Central Committee's Commission for Information, Education and Mass Mobilization, the Ministry of Science and Technology, the Ministry of Education and Training, and local authorities to organize intensive campaigns on digital skills training, aiming to enhance the capabilities of N.A. deputies and staff but also to spread digital knowledge and skills throughout society.
He urged Party committees, authorities, and mass organizations at all levels, to study and implement this initiative as a key task closely linked to administrative reform.
The N.A. leader expressed his hope that the Ministry of Science and Technology, Viettel Group, and Singaporean experts will continue to support the completion of the “Digital N.A.” initiative and the AI application, including investments in digital infrastructure, particularly machinery and transmission equipment.
