In a meeting with Russian Deputy Prime Minister Maxim Akimov in Moscow on
December 11, Minister-Chairman of the Government Office Mai Tien Dung stressed
that both nations have huge potential to bolster cooperation in the fields of
transport infrastructure, as well as information and technology, following the
official visit of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to Vietnam in November.
As Russia has considerable expertise in science and technology, and holds
particular strength in cybersecurity, Vietnam hopes to learn from its experience
in building e-Government, Dung said.
He added that the Vietnamese Government Office is planning to build a centre to
supervise cybersecurity, expressing his hope that both sides will study
cooperation opportunities and transfer security technologies.
Dung also told his host of the outcomes of his working session with Russian
ministries, sectors, and leading IT corporations. He said that his office and
the Russian Ministry of Digital Development, Communications, and Mass Media
secured a memorandum of understanding on ensuring cybersecurity in e-government
development.
Maxim Akimov, for his part, spoke highly of bilateral cooperation in the context
of the Eurasia-Vietnam Free Trade Agreement having taken effect in October
2016.
Currently, more than 70 million people are using e-government services. Having a
wealth of experience in the field, Russia stands ready to support Vietnam in
specific programmes, he stressed, adding that the country will consider granting
scholarships and organising training courses for Vietnam in IT, e-government,
and information safety, among others.
Dung has been leading a delegation from the Government office to Russia from
December 9-12. The delegation had working sessions with the Federal Tax Service,
the Federal Registration Service, the Department of Information and Technologies
of Moscow, Rostelecom – a leading digital service provider in Russia, Russian
Railways, RusITexport, and Kaspersky Lab. They shared experience in database
management, digitalisation, and services on portals of state-owned organisations.
