Speaking at the meeting, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung stated that in the story of digital transformation, context is the most important factor. Digital transformation is more of an institutional revolution than a technological revolution. Therefore, first of all, the information and communications industry needs to change the way of thinking and working. In the digital age, there is a lot of information, but only relevant information is valuable. It is necessary to find the difference, and when placed the information correctly and in the right context, any difficult problem will have a solution.

Regarding telecommunications infrastructure, the Minister of Information and Communications stated that in the past, investing in telecommunications infrastructure was a private matter, a business matter for enterprises. Enterprises invested and made profits. However, in the current context, telecommunications infrastructure is digital infrastructure, and since there may not be many users of digital infrastructure, the business efficiency is not high. Therefore, investment in digital infrastructure will require the participation of the State. Digital infrastructure must be considered as strategic infrastructure, equivalent to power and transportation infrastructure. Investment in telecommunications infrastructure must aim to provide people with telecommunications services to use, rather than simply investing in telecommunications stations and localities can study and use new telecommunications service technologies to provide services to people. Besides, public telecommunications policies also need to be implemented more strongly and widely so that more people are aware of and can access them.

The Minister of Information and Communications emphasized: In the digital technology revolution, awareness accounts for 70% of the role, technology accounts for only 30%. The information and communications industry of Lao Cai needs to determine that in the new context, the most important thing is to innovate in the way of thinking and ửoking, starting from small things to aim for bigger goals in the future.
