According to a resolution, EVN Telecom's capital sources, assets, telecom infrastructure facilities and information technology will all be handed over to Viettel.
The mobile giant has established a steering committee, chaired by General Director Hoang Anh Xuan, to monitor all aspects of the transition period.
Following Governmental approval, the handover will be completed in November.
