All ministries and relevant government agencies and the people’s committees of provinces and cities nationwide have been requested to use email to exchange documents such as invitations, reports, announcements and other official papers.

The PM also asked for the digitisation of archived documents and material to help civil servants search for and deal with information via the internet.

Information portals of the government and other units will be adapted to publish legal documents and other official papers with the aim of reducing the use of hard copies.

This new instruction will help enhance E-government development as well as to promote electronic operations in the Vietnamese public sector.
