Digital transformation must be realized through the development of
digital infrastructure and digital talent, as well as the formulation of
supporting policies. As part of the Internet Governance ecosystem,
Ministry of Communication and Informatics always considers aspirations,
and even seeks the involvement of other stakeholders in carrying out its
