Major General Nguyen Thanh Nam speaks at the event.

At the event, Major General Nguyen Thanh Nam, Viettel’s Deputy General Director, reported that the group has determined its overall goal that by 2030, it will have owned the top high-quality human resources in Vietnam and be among the leading groups in Southeast Asia in terms of digital technology and high-tech research capabilities.

Particularly, each industry sector of the group must have at least 3-5 regional leading experts (excluding the group's specific industries), and 30 per cent of the group's personnel work in the digital technology field.
