ICT is seen as one of the most effective cooperation fields and a strong driving force
Hanoi (VNA) – Information and communications technology (ICT) is seen as one of
the most effective cooperation fields and a strong driving force in the relations
between Vietnam and the US since the two countries normalised ties 15 years
ago.
Highlighted in the bilateral cooperation is the Vietnam-US ICT Talks, held
annually since 2007. The event aims to promote the investment and trading of
telecoms products, services and technologies and policy discussion between both
administrations.
At the Vietnam-US ICT Talks held this May, both parties proposed several
initiatives, including the establishment of an ICT business portal and mutual
support in training, technical investment and developing services.
Also during the talks, Vietnam ’s Ministry of Information and Communications
(MIC) underlined the importance of promoting bilateral cooperation in information
technology especially in specialist training and pledged special attention to
US-invested ICT businesses in Vietnam .
Big US leaders such as Microsoft, Intel, IBM, Oracle, Cisco, Motorola and
Qualcomm have all had Vietnamese partners in the past.
The involvement of these giants has not only resulted in Vietnam’s ICT market
becoming more attractive, but they have also helped Vietnamese businesses to
access new technologies and increase cooperation to integrate into the global
technology market as quickly as possible.
The agreement between the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) and the
US ’s Lockheed Martin, under which the US firm provided its Vietnamese
partner with a geostationary satellite, VINASAT 1, is one of the largest joint
projects ever between the two countries.
Other US groups, namely Motorola and Intel, have provided the technical
support and equipment for numerous Vietnamese telecoms businesses.
Motorola funded several projects with 1.3 million USD to develop human resources
projects in Vietnam , provided Vinaphone with 50,000 transceivers worth 300
million USD and partnered with Vinaphone in its efforts to expand its network.
At present, Motorola is expanding its joint operations with VNPT in the field of
broadband services.
Apart from its one-billion-USD micro-chip plant in Ho Chi Minh City , the
world’s largest chip maker, Intel, has carried out numerous other projects to
help Vietnam develop technological infrastructure and train its workforce since
the firm first arrived in Vietnam in 1997. -Enditem
