Overview of the meeting.

Overview of the meeting.

The meeting saw the presence of representatives of relevant units of the MPS, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Information and Communications, and several telecommunication enterprises.

According to reports delivered at the meeting, following the Government's Decree No.47 dated April 9, 2020 on the management, connection and sharing of digital data of governmental agencies, the Police Department for Administrative Management of Social Order (under the MPS) coordinated with the Department of Information Technology (under the MoJ) to connect the database of the two ministries to grant personal identification numbers to children who was born from January 1, 2016 onwards. By March 15, 2021, more than 5 million children in all the 63 provinces and cities across the country have received their identification numbers.

However, the VPN IPsec protocol via which the two units used to share their digital data is not compliant with the regulations of Decree No.47. Therefore, from the end of 2020, the two units started to share data via the NGSP platform. 

The Police Department of Social Security Administration has successfully connected with the NGSP so far, and is using it to provide 10 online public services (08 services related to the identification number and 02 services related to citizen information). The police unit is now waiting for the Department of Information Technology to connect the NGSP and join it in providing online public services.

At the meeting, delegates discussed difficulties and problems, and sought solutions to successfully connect the national database on population and the national database on citizen records as soon as possible.
