Vietnamese Ambassador to Australia Nguyen Tat Thanh said the two countries have recently promoted IT development, focusing on digital transformation.
Through their close strategic partnership, Vietnam and Australia have signed an action plan for 2020 - 2023, covering the three pillars of economy, politics - defence security, and innovation. The three pillars all focus on digital transformation.
A strategy to strengthen economic cooperation between the two countries is scheduled to be signed this October and also focuses on this issue, he said.
Ron Gauci, Managing director of AIIA, said both Australia and Vietnam have their own strengths in IT, so there are opportunities for their businesses to take advantage of each other.
Gauci emphasised that this will be an opportunity for Vietnamese IT companies to strengthen connection with Australian firms, and also for Australian companies and organisations to hire high-quality IT human resources of the Southeast Asian nation.
