Ha Noi, Sept. 4 (VNA) -- Ha Noi plans to spend VND 400 billion (USD 26.6 million) on developing information technology, making this a key industry in the first decade of the new century.
The city's first step is to built an IT service centre and put it into use by the end of this year. The next step aims to build an IT development centre and the Nam Thang Long IT industrial zone in 2002.
Ha Noi strives to have 100 percent of its major industries using telecommunications networks and the Internet in their business management and production by 2005. The city also targets having 100 percent of high schools, 60 percent of hospitals, 70 percent of enterprises, 70 percent of precinct and 50 percent of commune administrative offices accessible to the Internet.
To reach the target, Ha Noi must take bold measures to renew management, investment and human resource training.--VNA
