REV chairman Nguyen Van Ngo said that over the past five years, the action programme adopted at the fourth congress has been carried out successfully despite a number of difficulties at home and abroad, such as natural disasters, epidemics, and the global financial and economic crisis. Its consultancy, training and foreign relations activities have gained significant results, winning trust from ministries, departments and other agencies.

From 2009 to 2014, the association aims to complete its structural organisation, personnel and working regulations. It will expand to include more members, especially universities which have IT and electronics departments, and strengthen relations with grassroots level branches. In addition, the association will accelerate scientific activities, closely follow the development of telecommunications, and information technology, and improve its role as social critic and consultant. Another task is to improve training quality and increase international co-operation.

The deputy general director of Radio the Voice of Vietnam (VOV), Hoang Minh Nguyet, acknowledged the active contribution by professors and doctors who help VOV research and apply advanced technologies. VOV praises the association’s achievements in implementing the Party and State’s policies on science and technology, popularizing basic knowledge about radio and electronics, and assisting its members in research and innovations, said Ms Nguyet.

On the occasion, VOV presented a commemorative flag to the association to acknowledge its contributions to the development of VOV and the radio and electronics sector.
