Quang Ninh Province and FPT Corporation agree to sign a strategic partnership agreement

Quang Ninh, July 10, 2025 – To foster strategic collaboration in the areas of digital transformation, education, and the execution of significant Central Government resolutions on science, technology, and innovation development, Quang Ninh province arranged a high-level meeting between its leaders and FPT Corporation. Quang Ninh province and FPT Corporation decided to sign a strategic cooperation agreement after a thorough evaluation of the value and relevance of the working relationship.

Attending the meeting were key leaders of Quang Ninh province including: Mr. Vu Dai Thang, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee, Head of the Provincial National Assembly Delegation; Mr. Nghiem Xuan Cuong, Vice Chairman of the Provincial People's Committee; Representatives of leaders of relevant departments, branches and sectors.

On the side of FPT Corporation, the delegation included Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of the Corporation and senior leaders in charge of e-government, digital healthcare, digital transformation and education.

Quang Ninh and FPT have collaborated on e-government projects for over ten years. The province and FPT have been collaborating since 2013 to implement Vietnam's first e-Government model. As the nation undergoes a significant shift in the structure of the local government apparatus from a three-level model (province, district, and commune) to a two-level model (province and grassroots), FPT will work with Quang Ninh to pioneer the pilot model of a one-level Public Administration Service Center in 2025. From July 1, 2025, Quang Ninh province will officially operate a two-level local government model and a one-level Public Administration Service Center. FPT is the key unit in deploying three foundational technology systems: Digital station integrated with electronic identity wallet; Online reception and queuing system; New generation administrative procedure settlement information system with the ability to receive - resolve - return results without administrative boundaries and process electronic records throughout the process.

The meeting took place in an open and responsible atmosphere, with many practical exchanges of ideas between the parties.

Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Vu Dai Thang, who is the head of the provincial national assembly delegation, secretary of the provincial party committee, and member of the party central committee, provided an update on the remarkable socioeconomic development outcomes in the province in recent years. At the same time, he confirmed that Quang Ninh has changed the growth model, made strides in administrative reform, and accomplished breakthroughs in socio-economic development over the last ten years with the collaboration and support of FPT Group.

The Provincial Party Secretary emphasized: Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW of the Political Bureau has affirmed the role of science, technology, innovation and national digital transformation in the country's development, especially in the context of many epochal changes in the world and the region. With the political determination and efforts of the province, Quang Ninh has developed an action plan to concretize Resolution 57-NQ/TW of the Politburo, and promptly established a provincial Steering Committee on science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation. The province has proactively built institutions and policies; invested in completing infrastructure, developing human resources to promote science and technology development, innovation and digital transformation, etc.

However, the current new development context also poses new requirements for the province in developing science and technology, innovation and digital transformation. Especially when the rearrangement of provinces and cities nationwide has just been completed, Quang Ninh has become a locality with an area and population size in the bottom group among 34 localities nationwide. Many of the potentials and development opportunities that Quang Ninh had in the previous period have now gradually lost their advantages. The Provincial Party Secretary hopes that FPT, as one of the country's leading technology corporations, will accompany and support Quang Ninh province to materialize this orientation. 

Accordingly, FPT is requested to continue supporting the province in applying information technology and digital transformation in state management. At the same time, research the investment plan for the concentrated information technology park project in Tuan Chau ward; support in training human resources and invite information technology enterprises in the Group's ecosystem to invest in Quang Ninh. The Provincial Party Secretary affirmed that the province will create the most favorable conditions for FPT when implementing projects in Quang Ninh, especially incentives on land and administrative procedures.

Based on the wishes of Quang Ninh Province, FPT Corporation presented three key cooperation proposals with Quang Ninh Province: Accompanying the province in building a comprehensive digital transformation strategy, towards digital government, digital economy and digital society; Effectively implementing Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW and Plan No. 02-KH/BCĐTW of the Central Steering Committee on science, technology development, innovation and digital transformation; The two sides together improve the quality of local human resources.

Quang Ninh has taught FPT a lot about public management, particularly the two-level government model that is running efficiently under the General Secretary's leadership, according to Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT Corporation. Mr Truong Gia Binh emphasized: “Quang Ninh must maintain rapid and steady growth in the new development stage, and creating institutions based on precise data and AI will be revolutionary. FPT is prepared to work alongside the community to process, focus, and utilize data. According to Resolution No. 57-NQ/TW on breakthroughs in science, technology, innovation, and national digital transformation, as well as Resolution 68-NQ/TW on private economic development and national strategy, FPT is dedicated to working closely and over an extended period of time with the province to concretize important technology tasks."

Mr. Truong Gia Binh, Chairman of the Board of Directors of FPT Corporation, expressed his wish that FPT would take the lead in reorganizing the country of Quang Ninh.

Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of FPT Corporation, emphasized his commitment to accompany the Province and proposed to accompany Quang Ninh in building a streamlined architectural model, focusing on the core functions of digital government, operating on the principle: One unified system - One single data - One seamless service. 

Mr. Nguyen Van Khoa, CEO of FPT Corporation, emphasized his commitment to accompany the Province in implementing the Quad Strategy and Plan 02-KH/BCĐTW.

Quang Ninh provincial leaders highly appreciated FPT's technological capacity and spirit of companionship for sustainable development, and affirmed their commitment to creating the most favorable conditions for cooperation proposals to soon come into practice.

Mr. Vu Dai Thang, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee, highly appreciated FPT's practical and effective support over the years. The Secretary of the Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee affirmed: "Quang Ninh is building a 10-hectare concentrated information technology park in Tuan Chau and hopes that FPT will cooperate in developing an R&D center here, acting as a nucleus to promote specialized technology fields, effectively implementing Resolutions 57 and 68. The province is committed to creating favorable conditions in terms of procedures and legal corridors for FPT to quickly deploy projects. I expect FPT to accompany comprehensively, from human resource training, education - training to research and development, contributing to helping Quang Ninh make a breakthrough in digital economy and technology".

Mr. Vu Dai Thang, member of the Party Central Committee, Secretary of Quang Ninh Provincial Party Committee, highly appreciated FPT's practical and effective companionship over the past years.

The long-term, comprehensive strategic vision and enduring partnership between the government and top technological companies were confirmed by the working program between the leaders of Quang Ninh province and FPT Corporation. In order to achieve the Central Committee's four resolutions - Resolution 57 on science, technology, innovation, and digital transformation; Resolution 59 on foreign affairs; Resolution 66 on perfecting legal institutions; and Resolution 68 on transforming the private sector into a significant economic engine, the two parties decided to keep cooperating and advancing the model of public-private partnership.

FPT and Quang Ninh share a strong belief that: when businesses do not stand aside, when the government does not go it alone, we will open up a new future - where technology is the driving force, human resources are the focus, and trust is the fulcrum for development.
