(Baonghean.vn) - On the afternoon of January 11, in Vinh City, the Provincial Post Office and Nghe An Provincial Youth Union organized the signing of a coordination regulation to implement data collection for the project "Vietnam Digital Map Data Platform".

Based on the results and implementation methods in the two pilot provinces, representatives of several ministries, branches and connecting points presented implementation results, lessons learned and proposed mechanisms to remove some difficulties and obstacles in the implementation process...
