On Thursday, representatives from the Departments of Information and Communications (IC), and IC businesses in Da Nang and the provinces of Quang Nam, Quang Ngai and Phu Yen, attended a training course in the city on global economic integration in the IC sector.

Organised by the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications, the event aimed to raise awareness amongst departments, agencies, businesses and residents of the urgency of boosting global economic integration. 

The event also highlighted the efficiency of the use of IC in publicising the global integration process, as well as advertising the remarkable achievements, and the beautiful images of the landscape, people and culture of Viet Nam, to international friends.

During the course, the participants listened to two reports, namely ‘The impact of the recently-signed Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) agreement on the telecommunications sector and middleware service providers in the digital environment in Viet Nam’, and ‘The TPP Government Procurement Programme’.  They were also introduced to basic information about TPP and the Viet Nam-EU Free Trade Agreement (EVFTA), and to their commitments in IC aspects.
