This shift is taking place at a rapid pace along three pillars: Digital Government, Digital Economy and Digital Society. Like exploring new lands, the expansion of cyberspace will create space and open up new development space for the country.

The whole society's awareness of digital transformation has changed dramatically. 2021 and the entire period of 2021 - 2025 will be an acceleration period with specific implementation actions for each industry, each field, each locality.
