The Internet Day 2025 opened in Hanoi on December 17 with the theme “Internet Must Be Safer”.
With nearly 80 million users, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives in Vietnam, with an average usage time of about 7 hours per day, according to Mr. Vu Hoang Lien, Chairman of the Vietnam Internet Association.
However, he noted that the most pressing challenge today no longer lies in connection speed or coverage, but in building a trustworthy digital space.
Addressing the event, Deputy Minister of Science and Technology Pham Duc Long said as Vietnam moves into a new stage of development, the central challenge is no longer to increase the coverage or speed of the Internet, but to proactively shape its development to fully leverage the obtained achievements in support of fast, sustainable, and inclusive growth.
As of October this year, Vietnam’s fixed and mobile broadband Internet speeds ranked 10th and 15th globally, respectively.
After nearly a year of commercial rollout, the 5G network now covers 59% of the population, laying a critical foundation for the digital economy, digital government and digital society.
