He said Vietnam and India have cooperated effectively in science-technology and defence-security over the past years.
The official took the occasion to thank the Indian Government for grating an initial sum of 10 million USD to build digital villages in Vietnam.
Indian Senator N. Gokulakrishnan stated as India’s economy is growing, the country will have chances to further enhancing science-technology cooperation with Vietnam in a bid to lifting the bilateral ties.
According to a representative from the Vietnam sci-tech office in India, the two nations’ collaboration in the field has yielded good outcomes, particularly in energy, atomic energy, IT, and space technology. However, their joint projects in agriculture, bio-technology, and environment are yet to produce significant results.
At the end of the workshop, participants’ queries on bilateral sci-tech cooperation and Vietnam’s policies to attract investment in sci-tech research and development were answered.
