Together with other ministries and agencies, the Ministry of Public Security has been making great efforts and showing strong determination to effectively implement the national digital transformation. In 2021, the completion of the National Population Database and the system for producing, issuing, and managing Citizen Identity Cards marked a significant milestone, as for the first time in history, two national-level information technology projects, with a massive workload, implemented by the People's Public Security force, were completed on schedule.
In early 2022, the Ministry of Public Security, in coordination with the Government Office, advised the Prime Minister to approve the Project on the Development of Data Applications on Population, Identification and Electronic Authentication to Serve National Digital Transformation in the period 2022-2025, with a vision to 2030 - also known as Project 06. With the spirit of placing citizens and businesses at the center, as the subjects, as the goals and driving forces of development, and accelerating the implementation of 25 essential public services according to the Project, the number of applications received is increasing daily.
In particular, when the Covid-19 pandemic became complicated, the Ministry of Public Security connected the National Population Database with the database on vaccination, testing, and management of Covid-19 infected people to uniformly implement the application of QR codes on identity cards, serving the work of pandemic prevention and control.
