Speaking at the meeting, Deputy Prime Minister Vu Duc Dam highly appreciated the positive development of Vietnam's ICT community over the past year. The Deputy Prime Minister highlighted several key points, especially the decision to establish the National Committee on IT Application, chaired by the Prime Minister with the participation of many Ministers. Subsequently, through the efforts of the National Committee on IT Application and the Ministry of Information and Communications, the mechanism for IT service leasing was legalized and supported by the Prime Minister, which will promote IT application in state agencies and create a broader market for IT and software enterprises.

In his speech, Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hong also shared particularly important information: “On March 11, 2015, the Ministry of Information and Communications received a document from the Government Office announcing the Prime Minister's opinion requesting the Ministry of Finance to take the lead, together with the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Ministry of Planning and Investment, to propose tax policies in the IT field to promote IT application development. The Ministry of Information and Communications is discussing with ICT associations and societies to jointly consider proposing reasonable tax policies to submit to the Government or report to the National Assembly. This also demonstrates the Government and Prime Minister's attention to IT application through tax policies.” Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hong also highly appreciated the contributions of ICT associations and societies in providing feedback on policies and legal documents of the Ministry and Government related to the ICT sector.

As one of Vietnam's leading ICT enterprises with 20 years of operation in software and digital content, Tinh Van Group always participates and makes important contributions to the activities of Vietnam's ICT community. Tinh Van Group also co-sponsored this grand event along with many other organizations.

With the attention of high-ranking government leaders, Vietnam's ICT sector is sure to achieve new developments.
