(Anova) - The Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communication has reached a number of wide-ranging agreements on cooperation with the Cambodian Ministries of Information, Post and Telecommunication.

These agreements were reached at working sessions between Minister of Information and Communication Le Doan Hop and Cambodian Minister of Information Khieu Kanharith and Minister of Post and Telecommunication So Khun during Hop’s visit to Cambodia from Oct. 8 -11.

The ministers agreed to increase the exchange of visits by managers, pressmen, and post and telecommunication officials to share management skills and discuss cooperation.

They agreed to cooperate in building management regulations applicable to the press and post and telecommunications sectors, improving professional skills, and developing infrastructural facilities for radio, television, and telecom stations.

They aimed to create favourable conditions and an attractive environment for post and telecommunication businesses to invest in and conduct business in each other’s countries.

The Cambodian officials requested the assistance of the Vietnamese side in areas relating to expertise, human resources training, and the enhancement of the management capacity of the press, internet and telecom services.

During the visit, Minister Hop and his entourage were received by Deputy Prime Minister Sok An, who referred to Minister Hop’s visit as a major contribution to consolidating the traditional friendship between the two countries and further bolstering cooperation and assistance between the relevant Vietnamese and Cambodian ministries.

Ministers Hop and So Khun co-chaired the Vietnamese-Cambodian Post and Telecom Businesses’ Forum in Phnom Penh on Oct. 10. Hop also conducted a tour of a branch of the Vietnamese military-run Viettel company and visited several post and telecom units in the host country.
