Strengthening Vietnam-Japan cooperation in ICT
The Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications and Japanese Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications co-chaired a policy dialogue on ICT in Hanoi on September 15.
The dialogue focused on discussing policies and a strategy for the development of 4G/5G networks after the digitalisation of television in Vietnam, policies on protecting key information systems and the development of infrastructure for the internet of things.
Speaking at the dialogue, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam said Vietnam and Japan became strategic partners in 2009 and bilateral cooperation in ICT has expanded in the past time.
Vietnam hopes to expand cooperation with Japan in three priority areas in information and communications technology (ICT), including policies and a strategy for the development of 4G/5G networks after the digitalisation of television in Vietnam, policies on protecting key information systems and the development of infrastructure for the internet of things.
The cooperation in priority areas could be in the form of expert training, the transfer of technology and technical solutions, Deputy Minister Tam said, noting that the two ministries should coordinate to build mechanisms for regular information exchange.
In the information security, Vietnam hopes to cooperate with Japan in the training for expert, exchange of technology, solutions and technical support as well as the development of mechanisms to coordinate regularly information exchange between the two ministries.
Japan’s Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications Jiro Akama hoped the two sides would exchange information on policy on ICT and other interests.
The two ministries recently signed Memoranda of Understanding on cooperation in wireless radio frequency and postal service.
Vietnam has targeted to become a strong ICT country by 2020 and to use technology to drive competiveness and national economic growth. The country has the ambition to be among the fastest growing ICT countries in the world ranked by International Telecommunication Union (ITU).
To achieve this target, ICT businesses have made the effort to develop ICT infrastructure and boost IT applications in daily life and economic development.
