The Prime Minister on September 4 issued Directive No 32/CT-TTg to expedite the implementation of the Government’s Resolution No 175/NQ-CP, dated October 30, 2023, which approves the National Data Center project.

The Resolution emphasizes that the National Data Center must become a crucial component of the digital infrastructure, serving economic development and social management, in alignment with Vietnamese characteristics.

The data stored at the National Data Center will provide a fundamental foundation for delivering data-related services, policymaking, and building a digital society and economy.

To ensure that the Center is operational by Q4, 2025, the Prime Minister has tasked the Ministry of Public Security with formulating the draft of Law on Data. The final version of the projected law will be submitted by the Government  to the National Assembly (NA) for review  during its 8th session, scheduled for October, with approval anticipated in following session in May 2025.
