MPS, Nokia boost cooperation in telecommunications

Speaking at the reception, Minister Luong Tam Quang highly valued Nokia’s position and capabilities as one of the world’s leading telecommunications technology groups, with extensive experience in researching, developing, and deploying advanced telecommunications solutions. He highlighted Nokia’s expertise in 5G, core networks, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI) applications in telecommunications, and secure, reliable digital infrastructure, as well as its support for railway and airport projects and the development of dedicated communications networks for public safety.

Outlining the guidelines of the Party and State of Viet Nam on developing modern telecommunications and digital infrastructure to meet socio-economic development needs while safeguarding national defense and security, Minister Luong Tam Quang emphasized Viet Nam’s desire to step up cooperation with leading global partners like Nokia in research, technology transfer, human resource training, and advanced telecommunications solutions.

Based on Nokia’s strengths and the practical requirements of the Ministry of Public Security, Minister Luong Tam Quang requested the group to enhance experience sharing, knowledge transfer, and joint research and development in cutting-edge technologies, such as 5G-Advanced, 6G, AI, Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and autonomous networks, thereby contributing to enhancing Viet Nam’s technological autonomy and developing a high-quality workforce.

The Minister suggested that the two sides step up joint research, development, and transfer of advanced technologies to support the safeguard of security and order and the professional operations of the Ministry of Public Security, particularly in next-generation telecommunications, AI, data analytics, and cybersecurity. Simultaneously, both sides should coordinate to advise on establishing research, development, and innovation centers, connect with international experts, and promote cooperation programs aligned with each party's strategic directions.

Furthermore, the two sides should strengthen cooperation to build secure and highly resilient telecommunications infrastructure to ensure seamless communications during emergencies, incidents, and natural disasters. They should also study solutions, technologies, and deployment models for dedicated 5G mobile communications systems for functional forces, meeting specialized security and safety requirements in critical areas and at major events.

In addition, Minister Luong Tam Quang requested continued emphasis on training and developing high-quality human resources through workshops, intensive training courses, expert exchanges, and technology transfer in fields such as data science, AI, high-performance computing (HPC) centers, and other emerging technologies.

Expressing full agreement with Minister Luong Tam Quang’s assessments and strategic directions for cooperation, Mr. Andrew Cope affirmed that Nokia attaches great importance to its cooperation with the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam. 

He stated that Nokia stands ready to expand exchanges, share experience, introduce technological solutions tailored to practical needs, and actively coordinate research into potential areas of mutual interest.
