Minister Luong Tam Quang receives Ericsson Viet Nam leader

Welcoming Ms. Rita Mokbel on her visit to the Ministry of Public Security, Minister Luong Tam Quang highly valued Ericsson’s standing, technological capabilities, and global expertise as one of the world’s premier telecommunications corporations.

The Minister noted that, in recent years, Ericsson has made a strong transition from a traditional telecommunications equipment provider to a developer of intelligent connectivity platforms, focusing on 5G-Advanced, artificial intelligence (AI), and autonomous networks. 

The corporation has also actively pursued 6G research and development while expanding technological applications across industry, transport, healthcare, and critical infrastructure.

Furthermore, Minister Luong Tam Quang expressed his satisfaction with the positive results of cooperation between Ericsson and MobiFone in network infrastructure development, equipment supply, technical support as well as the expansion of joint initiatives in 5G, cloud computing, AI and innovation.

Highlighting Viet Nam’s strategic orientation to develop next-generation telecommunications networks, build data centers, expand cloud computing, and ensure secure, highly resilient digital infrastructure to support socio-economic development while safeguarding national defense and security, Minister Luong Tam Quang expressed Viet Nam’s desire to step up cooperation with leading global partners like Ericsson in research, technology transfer, human resource training, and advanced telecommunications solutions.

Affirming the vast potential for bilateral cooperation, Minister Luong Tam Quang requested Ericsson to share its technological development roadmaps, research experience, and insights into emerging trends, especially technologies with potential applications in national security. He also called for closer coordination with the Ministry of Public Security to research, pilot, and deploy solutions tailored to Viet Nam's practical needs and conditions.

The Minister emphasized the importance of coupling research and application with specialized training, human resource development, and knowledge transfer to progressively enhance Viet Nam’s capacity to research, operate, and master core technologies. He proposed that Ericsson coordinate to build in-depth training programs on 5G/6G, critical communications networks, cybersecurity, and AI for officers of the Ministry and related units, while expanding collaboration with educational institutions under the Ministry of Public Security.

In addition, Minister Luong Tam Quang suggested that Ericsson bolster cooperation with the Ministry in building secure, resilient telecommunications infrastructure to guarantee seamless communications during emergencies, incidents, and natural disasters. Both sides should explore technology transfer and deployment models for dedicated 5G mobile communications systems serving functional forces, fulfilling specialized security and safety requirements in key areas and during high-profile events.

Expressing her delight at working with the Ministry of Public Security of Viet Nam, Ms. Rita Mokbel stated that Ericsson attaches great importance to advancing cooperation in science and technology, digital transformation, AI, and next-generation telecommunications in the Vietnamese market.

Endorsing the cooperation priorities outlined by Minister Luong Tam Quang, Ms. Rita Mokbel committed to further advancing collaboration with the Ministry in telecommunications, information security, AI, and digital capacity building based on each side's strengths and requirements, thereby helping boost infrastructure capability and accelerate digital transformation in Viet Nam.
