Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan has said besides traditional
cooperation areas such as education and healthcare, Vietnam and Cuba
have worked together to increase their ties in agriculture and
information technology, which are Vietnam’s strengths.
Receiving Cuban Deputy Minister of Communications Wilfredo Gonzalez
Vidal in Hanoi on July 9, Deputy PM Nhan noted that during the past
two decades, Vietnam has modernised its IT sector and affirmed its
international position.
IT is now applied nationwide
in various fields, he said, adding that Vietnamese IT firms have
developed unceasingly and expanded their operations abroad, with a
bright example being the military-run Viettel Telecommunication Group.
For his part, Wilfredo Gonzalez Vidal mentioned
important cooperation agreements with Vietnam’s Ministry of
Information and Communications reached during his visit.
He said his country has learned much from Vietnam in IT
development. In particular, the IT Law of Vietnam is helpful to Cuba
and its process of organising and restructuring its IT system.-VNA
