The Vietnamese Government actively adopts guidelines and policies to encourage the development of digital technology, asserted Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam at World Development Report 2016: “Digital Dividends” on March 14 in Ha Noi.

The Deputy PM highlighted the benefits of digital technology in improving labor capacity, exploiting natural and human resources, enhancing the management of production and service as well as making crucial contribution to the national socio-economic development.

He suggested creating a favorable legal environment to encourage the development of digital technology and limit its negative aspects.

Deputy PM Dam expected that large information technology groups and multi-national corporations will not only operate for their own benefits but also show their responsibilities for society, especially assisting local people in remote and disadvantaged areas to improve the lives.

In addition, he said everyone should be aware of information technology to create opportunities for their own lives and works as well as have the habits of using digital technology appropriately to protect the benefits and prevent negative sides of information technology.

The report, released by the World Bank, underscored the need to roll out development strategies for digital technologies with broader visions than those of information and communications.
