The conference, the fourth of its kind held in the framework of cooperation between the UPU and the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD), aimed to expand the electronic-postal payment network to serve farmers and small- and medium-sized enterprises.
Participants at the event reviewed the implementation of national and joint projects with regional countries, and discussed measures to develop e-commerce services in the system.
During the conference, Vietnamese representatives held bilateral meetings with representatives from China, Malaysia, India, Laos and Cambodia. They discussed trialing services and the building of joint programmes to advertise express-money services between Vietnam and other countries.
Vietnam hosted the conference after it was elected to the UPU’s Executive Council at its 25th Universal Congress in October, 2012, demonstrating the growing prestige of the nation’s postal industry in the region and world./.VNA
