Vietnam expands security technology partnerships across telecommunications sector

Ericsson Vietnam has signaled its commitment to expanding cooperation with Vietnamese stakeholders in science and technology, digital transformation, artificial intelligence and next-generation telecommunications infrastructure, according to Rita Mokbel, President and CEO of Ericsson Vietnam.

The Swedish telecom giant's focus on Vietnam reflects broader efforts by the country to secure advanced technological partnerships with international leaders. Vietnam's emphasis on technology cooperation extends beyond individual companies to encompass strategic collaborations with multiple nations.

Vietnam is simultaneously reinforcing defence and security cooperation with neighboring countries Laos and Cambodia, demonstrating a regional approach to strengthening partnerships. The country is also pursuing deeper security technology cooperation with Turkish partners, diversifying its international relationships across telecommunications and cybersecurity domains.

Experts have recommended that Vietnam prioritize quantum technology development with a focus on security applications and building domestic talent in the field. This multi-pronged strategy aims to position Vietnam as a regional technology hub while enhancing national security capabilities through cutting-edge telecommunications and digital infrastructure.
