A national conference on Vietnam’s information technology (IT) and telecommunications sector was held in Hanoi on November 26 in an effort to create a significant new development in the industry.

The conference was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, Minister of Information and Communications Le Doan Hop, representatives of other ministries and foreign IT specialists.

Speaking at the event, Mr Nhan stressed the need to make a breakthrough in the development of IT human resources. He urged the Ministry of Information and Communications to seek a capable domestic partner to enter into a joint venture with a foreign counterpart to train human resources to the specifications of IT businesses.

Mr Nhan also called for attracting foreign IT workers to Vietnam to promote domestic training. He said domestic IT businesses should court foreign investment and take advantage of assistance from world IT giants in developing their own trademarks and prestige.

The senior official told the conference that in 2009 the government issued a plan to apply IT in state agencies, a decision on managing IT projects that use state funding, and a decision on developing IT human resources until 2015 with a vision toward 2020. He added that the Ministry of Information and Communications is collecting ideas for a project to turn Vietnam into an IT power by 2020.
