Dr. Truong Thanh Tung of Phenikaa University, stressed the role of education and training in enhancing digital capacity and innovation: “Digital transformation needs to be applied in a coordinated way at schools in underdeveloped and developing countries. It is essential to have a common training program to equip the students with skills to protect themselves in cyberspace. The application of digital transformation in academic assessment will help minimize risks and increase the probability of success,” said Tung.

President of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) Duarte Pacheco said he hopes all young parliamentarians will join the digital transformation, because they will be the force of society in the future through their decision making and contribution.
