An international seminar on e-commerce took place in Ho Chi Minh City on Dec. 16, attracting the participation of businesses, executives and lecturers both at home and abroad.
At the seminar, the first of its kind in Vietnam jointly held by Viet Trung Hoa Investment and Development Joint Stock Company and Vietnam E-commerce Development Centre, participants discussed how to promote made-in-Vietnam products on international markets through e-commerce, while working on business strategies in line with global development trends.
The participants engaged in an exchange with Vietnamese businesses who are pioneers in applying e-commerce to business and with foreign experts to update information about e-commerce across the world.
The seminar also included direct talks with disabled people who have actively contributed to the development of society in general and to Vietnam ’s information technology in particular – such as Le Dan Bach Viet MA, a blind teacher from Nguyen Dinh Chieu school for visually-impaired children, and Huynh Thi Kim Cuc, an IT expert.
Tran Vinh Nhung, Deputy Director of HCM City Department of Industry and Trade, said businesses in HCM City were taking the lead in applying e-commerce, engaging in e-commerce trading floors and offering a wide range of online services.
However, Nhung said, the businesses were facing numerous obstacles while using e-commerce, particularly regarding security and electronic payment systems.
The seminar provided an opportunity for businesses to raise suggestions to HCM City People’s Committee on a plan to develop e-commerce in the 2011-2015 period, contributing to effectively implementing and fulfilling targets of the master plan on e-commerce development in the 2011-2015 period that was adopted under the Prime Minister’s Decision No. 1073/QD-TTg on July 12, 2010, Nhung said./.
