Hoan said that HCM City has implemented digital transformation in recent years. However, the awareness of digital transformation in both the State system as well as for businesses has remained modest.
Through the COVID-19 pandemic, digital transformation has proved its significance, which should be further sped up to meet the requirements of reality, he said.
Hoan highlighted the potential of the digital transformation market in Viet Nam, and expressed his belief that with his experience and digital geostatistics initiatives that have helped many countries in this area, Cheng will be able to support HCM City to enhance the awareness of digital transformation and design models and solutions in the field.
For his part, Cheng expressed his impression on the development of HCM City as well as its success in controlling COVID-19.
Highly valuing the development potential of HCM City as well as the city’s sound partnership with the World Bank, he said that he and the bank are willing to share experience with and support the city in many areas, including digital transformation.
