He also suggested the two countries boost the exchange of visits by the two countries’ managers, lecturers and students who work and study in information and communications while bolstering cultural exchange, especially documentary films on wars in Vietnam , thus helping the people of both nations better their mutual understanding.

Minister Hop briefed his host of Vietnam’s policies to develop information technology (IT), saying that the country is making efforts to become strong at the industry, aiming to develop IT human resources that not only for domestic market but also for export in the future.

The host and guest agreed to amend and supplement a number of items under the management of the two ministries into the MOU signed in 1994 to extend the document on the occasion of the upcoming visit to Vietnam by the Indonesian minister later this year./.
