HA NOI (Biz Hub) — Viet Nam and South Africa have agreed to increase exchanges delegations and establish dialogue channels to share state managerial experience in the information and communications sector, especially in digital television, press and representative management.

Minister of Information and Communications Nguyen Bac Son, accompanied by executives from the country's top telecoms companies, visited South Africa last week to promote business co-operation. 

The two sides agreed to co-operate each other at international organisations and in information and communications.

They also said they would increase exchanges within the journalism industry to report on developments in the two countries.              

Minister Son said they should create favourable conditions for telecoms enterprises to invest and co-operate with each other.

At talks with the visiting Vietnamese minister, South African Minister of Communications Faith Muthambi said the visit marked a new landmark for the two countries to boost co-operation in information and communications.

The delegation also met with leading South African enterprises such as Telkom, Rothschild, HSBC, DSC and Halo Technology.

The enterprises expressed their wish to co-operate with Vietnamese enterprises to expand investment in South Africa and other countries in the region.

Representatives from Viet Nam, including VNPT, Viettel, MobiFone and VTC, discussed and shared experiences on network development and telecoms services, which are sectors that South Africa wants support in from foreign countries. — VNS
