Comrade Lê Thành Đô praised the efficiency of the model, particularly its comprehensive digitalization and user-friendly design, which provides transparency, speed, and efficiency in serving the public. He emphasized that Điện Biên is particularly interested in the potential for integrating these models with the national database systems and existing technological platforms in Vietnam. This is seen as an appropriate step towards realizing the province’s goal of promoting comprehensive digital transformation in the near future.

The delegation also visited the Russian city’s Monitoring and Security Center, which operates a high-tech urban surveillance system integrating artificial intelligence, big data, and advanced digital platforms. The Điện Biên delegation was briefed on the system for detecting and processing violations, security monitoring methods, and technologies used for public safety awareness, prevention, and early detection of security risks. Both sides exchanged experiences regarding the organizational mechanisms, cooperation strategies, and plans for future technology transfers according to Điện Biên’s needs.

He also affirmed that he would direct the relevant provincial agencies, particularly those specializing in digital transformation and technology, to participate in programs and thematic seminars invited by Saint Petersburg, for the purpose of researching, evaluating, and proposing suitable implementation steps based on local conditions.

With a proactive, open, and effective cooperation spirit, Điện Biên aims to collaborate with Saint Petersburg to develop practical initiatives, contributing to the modernization of public administration and improving the quality of life for its people.

The meetings at key facilities like the One-Stop Center and the Monitoring and Security Center play an important role in understanding and learning international experiences regarding digital transformation, modernizing public administration, and developing smart city models, aligning with the province’s development trends.
