Asia-Pacific conference discusses e-postal payments
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
