Within the framework of the International Digital Week event in Vietnam 2026, at the opening session of the roundtable of the Minister of Digital and Artificial Intelligence, on the morning of October 28 in Quang Ninh City, the Global Mobile Communications Association (GSMA) awarded the 2026 Government Leadership Award to Vietnam.

Previously, the award was announced at the Mobile World Congress (MWC Barcelona 2026) in March 2026.

GSMA representative said that the award was selected by an independent international expert panel, including representatives from ITU, OECD, GSMA... to honor the Government for its persistent policy leadership, strategic vision and creation of an outstanding legal environment to promote mobile and digital development.

GSMA affirmed that Vietnam was honored not because of a single project or technology, but thanks to a persistent approach, linking national aspirations with policy direction, implementation organization and cooperation with industry.

Three outstanding points were highlighted by GSMA for Vietnam to win the award.

First, economic infrastructure connectivity, broadband expansion and 5G promotion reflect a broader vision: helping businesses improve productivity, public services become more accessible and the economy more competitive.

Second, turn strategy into practical conditions. The nomination profile highly values ​​the spectrum policy and measures to support network investment, thereby giving the market both the capacity to build and the confidence to invest.

Third, with people at the center, community-based digital skills development initiatives demonstrate the principle: progress is not only measured by the networks deployed, but by the opportunities people actually use.

The GSMA representative said that Vietnam needs to promote development momentum to bring a stronger voice to the global telecommunications forum: continue to make bold decisions to encourage long-term investment; transforming advanced connectivity into new industrial capabilities; integrating trust and security into digital growth; equip people with skills to benefit from AI; sharing policy experiences, bringing Vietnamese engineers, innovators and businesses to participate in international cooperation, contributing to global standards and interoperable technology.
