VOV.VN - Pavel Tsiporin, deputy governor of Russia’s Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Area – Ugra, has voiced his hope to boost ties with ASEAN member states, including Vietnam, in the field of information technology (IT).
Tsiporin, who is also director of Ugra’s Department of Information Technology and Digital Development, told foreign reporters at the Ugra Research Institute of Information Technologies on December 11 that Ugra has always been among the top five okrugs (regions) in Russia in terms of IT. Since 2008, the annual International IT Forum held in Khanty-Mansiysk has confirmed this okrug to be one of the most prestigious global technology hubs.
Regarding the potential for the okrug’s co-operation in digital technology with ASEAN member states, including Vietnam, Tsiporin affirmed that Ugra has made significant strides in AI and innovative models. Therefore it stands ready to offer these developments to Asian countries, particularly Vietnam.
He added that Ugra is also prepared to adapt these technologies in an effort to meet the language and practical requirements of the Vietnamese side.
According to the official, the four key areas in which Ugra has significant potential for co-operation with Vietnam include AI, innovative models, information security, and IT engineer training.
In addition, Ugra has an online platform for these courses and is ready to modify them to suit the needs of Vietnamese learners, he said.
