The event, organised by the Vietnamese Ministry of Information and Communications, is part of activities under a co-operation programme in information-technology between the two countries.
Speaking at the function, Deputy Minister Nguyen Minh Hong said the event offers an opportunity for the two countries’ businesses and people working in information technology, particularly the digital content industry, to share experience and seek co-operation opportunities.
Choi Youn Chel, a representative from the Korea Creative Content Agency, said the RoK has taken the lead worldwide in the DCI.
In Vietnam , despite being a fledging industry, the DCI has had an impact on various areas with an impressive annual growth rate of about 20-40 percent over the past decade.
Last year, the industry pocketed over US$1 billion, involving between 500 and 600 businesses.
A similar workshop on Vietnam’s DCI and prospects for co-operation with the RoK in this field will take place in Ho Chi Minh City later this week.
Vietnam and the RoK have set up the strategic partnership. Over the years, RoK businesses have invested in an array of areas in the Southeast Asian country, including the DCI.
