Vietnam, Japan boost cooperation in ICT
Vietnam hopes to expand cooperation with Japan in three priority areas in information and communications technology following a Vietnam-Japan policy dialogue on ICT in Hanoi on September 15. The priority areas are identified as policies and a strategy for the development of 4G/5G networks after the digitalisation of television in Vietnam, policies on protecting key information systems and the development of infrastructure for the internet of things. At the dialogue, Deputy Minister of Information and Communications Phan Tam said Vietnam and Japan became strategic partners in 2009 and bilateral cooperation in ICT has expanded since then.
