According to the draft Resolution, in recent years, the Party committees and authorities of Nghe An province have focused on leading, directing, and promoting digital transformation in a number of sectors and fields, achieving positive results, contributing to the overall development of the province.

The province's viewpoint is to make the most of opportunities to develop digital government, digital economy, and digital society. The digital transformation process must ensure network information security, towards a safe digital society. Digital transformation is a central, consistent, comprehensive, breakthrough task, requiring the synchronous participation and high determination of the entire political system, especially the leaders, and the joint efforts of the entire population.

Enterprises and people are the center of digital transformation; promoting digital transformation in society, thereby creating traction for the digital transformation process in state agencies. Digital transformation needs to be implemented continuously, persistently, substantially, effectively, avoiding formalities and wasting resources; ensuring inheritance and innovation with solid steps, suitable for practice in each period, each industry and field.
