Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh urged for early commercialization of low-Earth-orbit satellite internet services in 2026, while chairing a meeting of the Government Steering Committee on science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation and Project 06, held in Hanoi on February 25.
He also called on telecom firms to speed up 5G deployment to ensure nationwide coverage this year.
PM Chinh instructed the Ministry of Science and Technology to finalize the selection and assignment of priority strategic technology products, focusing on artificial intelligence, unmanned aerial vehicles, nuclear energy, digital transformation, green transition, the creative economy, the low-altitude economy and high-speed rail.
The Ministry of Public Security was tasked with launching National Data Center No. 1 within the year and working with enterprises to label data to support the development of an autonomous AI platform.
The Government leader also ordered ministries to reserve at least 3% of annual state budget spending for digital transformation, thus making data and artificial intelligence core growth drivers.
