Speaking at a regular press conference in Hanoi on June 5, Phuc said the Press Authority would serve as a primary source of information and evaluation, bringing together experts, researchers, and media leaders to address challenges in the digital media transformation process.
Phuc expected the center to build an evaluation index to measure the level of digital transformation maturity and provide useful information and resources, including successful digital media transformation models and financial, technical, and technological support for media organizations.
The launch of the support center is in line with the Government's goal of achieving effective digital media transformation by 2025 and beyond.
At the same event, the MIC also launched a new online portal, https://pdt.gov.vn/, to provide information and ratings on the digital media transformation progress. The ratings and evaluations will be published on the MIC portal at https://mic.gov.vn/ and on the center's portal at https://pdt.gov.vn/.
The center's establishment is part of the Vietnamese Government's broader efforts to digitize the country's economy and society, laying a solid foundation for development and progress.
