According to the evaluation, up to now, VSS has mostly achieved the goals of the e-government development plan toward the digital government by 2025. However, in order to keep up with the current technology development trends, VSS would like to strengthen exchanges and cooperation to build and develop a modern and professional system and ensure members’ entitlement.
