VOV.VN - Vietnam and the Czech Republic shared experience in the field of national digital transformation during a working session between experts of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and the Digital and Information Agency of the Czech Republic in Prague on November 13.
The working session was held as part of a working visit to the Czech Republic by a delegation of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics.
During the meeting, Ondrej Menousek, Director of the Electronic Government Services Department, introduced the Agency’s operating model, highlighting its role as a leading institution driving the digitalisation of public administration in the Czech Republic.
Established in 2023, the Agency has quickly become the central body responsible for managing and planning digitalisation initiatives under the Strategic Plan for the Digitalisation of Czechia by 2030. It has played a key role in improving the quality of digital public services, promoting online communication between citizens, businesses and government bodies, and strengthening state governance through digital technologies.
Sharing notable achievements, Menousek emphasised the launch of the eDoklady application in 2024, which enables citizens to store digital versions of their national ID cards and driving licences on their mobile phones. This makes identity verification more convenient without the need for physical documents and has contributed significantly to improving the Czech Republic’s ranking in the EU Digital Economy and Society Index (DESI).
He affirmed that the Digital and Information Agency is ready to share the Czech Republic’s digital transformation experience to support Vietnam in accelerating its journey towards an effective and transparent digital government.
For his part, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Manh Hung, Vice President of the Academy and Vice Chairman of the Party Central Committee’s Theoretical Council, noted that both the Czech Republic and Vietnam share a common orientation in promoting national digital transformation to build a digital government, digital economy and digital society. He said that Vietnam is making strong efforts to develop large-scale citizen databases that integrate key types of data such as social insurance, taxation and health records.
He also acknowledged challenges such as shortages of high-quality human resources and inconsistencies among ministries and sectors during implementation. Nonetheless, Vietnam remains determined to advance rapidly and effectively in digital transformation - a global imperative. He emphasised that the upgrade of bilateral relations to a Strategic Partnership earlier this year has created new opportunities for cooperation, with digital transformation being one of the priority areas.
On 12 November, the Vietnamese delegation held a working session with Charles University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in Europe.
The two sides discussed prospects for cooperation in training, thematic conferences, joint courses and research programmes on public policy, political economy and international relations, as well as expanding academic, student and PhD exchanges.
