Vietnam and Malaysia have agreed to step up exchanges of information, management expertise and cooperate to train up human resources in the information and communications sector.

The agreement was reached at a meeting between Vietnam ’s Minister of Information and Communications Le Doan Hop and Malaysian Deputy Minister of Information, Communications and Culture Soseph Salang, in Kuala Lumpur on July 15.

At the meeting, Hop said that Vietnam wants to share information as well as learn from Malaysia ’s experiences in managing online games and pre-paid mobile phone packages as well as discuss the use of a common telecoms infrastructure.

Vietnam intends to become strong in information technology (IT), said Hop while praising the investments that Malaysian IT and telecoms businesses have injected into in Vietnam .

Hop also informed Salang of the six main goals that Vietnam wants to reach in the IT sector, including developing its human resources, software, IT infrastructure, e-government and especially encouraging strong communication groups.

Salang expressed the hope both ministries will increase sharing their experiences of state management, encourage and create better conditions for businesses from both countries to meet and seek out cooperative opportunities in the production of telecommunications equipment and the provision of telecoms services.

In the past Vietnam has sent numerous officials to Malaysia to learn about developing public services, IT, software and information security. The country also provides Vietnam with several telecoms and IT scholarships each year./.
