He noted that “the digital revolution requires all our strength and mobilization of resources, and we must take into account all the sources of this freedom,” stressing that Morocco is increasingly entering the “channel of digitalization” using all its positive aspects.
At the same time, he stressed that universal digitalization can also have negative consequences.
“Young people need special care, (…) young people are our future. Despite the harmful phenomena that the digitalization process have, we must cope with them,” he stressed.
Digital security
Thanh Binh Phan, a member of the Central Committee of the Vietnamese Communist Party, chairman of the National Assembly on Culture, Education and Youth Affairs, spoke about security in the era of the “digital revolution”.
“We must work in the field of information security in order to avoid possible violations in this regard. There must be an understanding and control of these technologies. And how we should keep this information is one of the important problems today. We must ensure the security of various programs and software,” he stressed, noting that “no one today can guarantee the security of information and the security of digital systems.”
“Digital technologies can become safe and effective only if we unite the efforts of all countries. And we will try to use them only for the well-being of our countries and our peoples,” said Thanh Binh Phan.
Digitization of lawmaking
