Vietnam has a young population that is digitally savvy. Around 60 percent of our population of 93 million are under 35, and approximately 54 percent are internet users. This is a favorable foundation and a sufficiently large market to cultivate the digital economy and accelerate investment into new business models in Vietnam.

The strong advances of science and technology and the digital transformation taking place around the globe present both opportunities and challenges to countries, especially the developing ones. Social conflicts stemming from social disparities, discrimination and stigma have deteriorated due to the pandemic, further widening the divide within countries.

For the peace of the world, for a connected and developed world, let’s shake hands. We shall develop together and contribute to global stability.
