Digital skills – part of daily life in Lang Son's mountainous border communities

Continued investment in digital literacy, particularly for older people, ethnic minority communities and residents in remote mountainous areas, along with better training for frontline public servants, will be essential to ensure that everyone can confidently access and benefit from online public services.

Top leader calls for measurable progress in institutional perfection

Party General Secretary and State President To Lam emphasised that assignments must not be reduced to slogans and rejected situations where agencies report that initiatives have been launched, studied or disseminated without being able to identify completed deliverables, promulgated legal documents, simplified administrative procedures, resolved legal inconsistencies, and accountability at leadership level.

Administrative procedures cut, simplified to be published online

The dispatch states that in implementing Conclusion No. 18-KL/TW dated April 2, 2026 of the 14th Party Central Committee on the 2026–2030 socio-economic development plan, national finance, public debt management and medium-term public investment, linked to the goal of achieving double-digit economic growth, the Government on April 29 issued 11 resolutions on cutting, decentralising and simplifying administrative procedures, business conditions, and conditional business lines. The Prime Minister subsequently directed ministries, agencies and localities to implement these resolutions.
