Speaking at the ceremony, Minister of Construction Tran Hong Minh emphasized that digital transformation is a strategic breakthrough for the construction sector. “It aims to enhance productivity, improve governance, and deliver more efficient, citizen-centered public services”, he said.

To reinforce this vision, the Ministry’s Party Committee has issued a thematic resolution on promoting science, technology, and digital transformation. This commitment has been translated into action through concrete initiatives, including participation in the “Digital Mass Education” movement and the digitization of public services.

The newly launched Digital Mass Education Portal will provide open access to learning materials through the national digital education platform. It is designed to raise digital literacy among citizens and officials, particularly through practical offerings such as digitized theoretical driving materials—highlighting the Ministry’s user-centric approach.

Minister Minh also reported initial successes in building shared databases, offering online services, and integrating digital tools across specialized management areas. These achievements lay a strong foundation for future digital breakthroughs.

A key highlight of the ceremony was the signing of a coordination plan between the Ministry’s Information Technology Center and the Department of Administrative Management of Social Order under the Ministry of Public Security. The partnership aims to connect the national population database and digital ID system with the Ministry’s digital applications. “This is not just a technical move but a strategic collaboration to unlock innovation and boost service quality”, the Minister noted.

Minister Minh urged department heads and unit leaders to lead by example in applying digital tools. He set a target to complete the digitization of training materials for professional certification exams by August 2025, with all other educational content finalized within the year.

“With strong Party and State leadership, the close cooperation of relevant ministries—especially the Ministry of Public Security—and the determination of all construction sector personnel, I am confident we will achieve meaningful breakthroughs in science, technology, and digital transformation, contributing to national development”, Minister Minh concluded.
