HÀ GIANG — Việt Nam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) signed a memorandum of understanding with Hà Giang Province People’s Committee to support the northernmost mountainous province to develop into a smart city.

This was one of the highlights of the conference held on Monday to review the three-year implementation of the strategic cooperation agreement in telecommunications and information technology between the two sides during 2014-20.

A representative of Hà Giang Province said the application of IT in the province had improved significantly, and urged VNPT to hasten the implementation of new systems as well as provide training aiming at building e-governance and smart city.
