The Viet Nam Post and Telecommunication Corporation and Thu Duc city on Saturday (October 23) officially opened the intelligent operation centre, an important cog in helping the latter build a smart city and e-governance, after a five-month trial run.
Executives from leading technology companies and officials discussed ways to speed up introduction of e-governance and creation of smart cities based on the safe use of IT at a conference in the Mekong city of Can Tho this week.
Though Viet Nam has made great strides in streamlining administrative procedures and developing e-governance, more needs to be done to enable businesses and the public to access information from the Government, a roundtable heard in HCM City on Tuesday.
The Ministry of Trade and Industry (MoIT) and military-owned telecom company Viettel Group on Monday signed a cooperation agreement on applying information technology (IT) to build e-governance and e-commerce infrastructure.
The Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) will support the
Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment in implementing an
information technology application for managing and building
e-governance during 2015 to 2020.
