VOV.VN - Mel Shalev, a former senior Israeli technology expert with more than 40 years of experience in the technology sector, including 37 years at IBM, believes Vietnam's greatest resource lies not in capital or natural resources but in its people, particularly its younger generation and a long-standing cultural emphasis on learning.

The objectives of Vietnam's current strategy for developing science, technology and innovation (STI) make good sense, and they are certainly reachable and doable, said Israeli expert Mel Shalev.

Leaders of Vietnamese localities are more open to business opportunities, showing greater interest in seeking good technologies and economic development opportunities without being concerned about personal economic benefits or political advancement.
