PM Chinh lauded the Ministry of Public Security for completing the ID digitalisation for 98 million citizens, printing and sending over 50 million chip-based ID cards to residents. It also successfully piloted the connection with databases of several ministries, agencies, cities and provinces nationwide to ensure social safety and order.

He asked ministries, agencies and localities to promptly build their own plans and roadmaps to carry out the project with key tasks such as stepping up online public services, especially 25 key services for residents and businesses.

They were required to connect databases on nationwide household records, social security, vaccination, SARS-CoV-2 testing, and insurance with the national database on population.

In the immediate future, relevant ministries and agencies were tasked with building and submitting resolutions and decrees on investment, building, integration and sharing of databases related to population to the Government while providing online public services for residents and businesses.
