Senior executives from ST Telemedia, led by Executive Vice President Mr Sio Tat Hiang, were invited by Vietnam’s Ministry of Post and Telematics (MPT) to share their views on the equitisation of Vietnam Mobile Service Company(VMS) at a by-invitation-only forum on the privatisation of Vietnam’s telecommunications enterprises held in Hanoi on 17 August 2006.

Speaking to the participants was ST Telemedia’s Senior Vice President of International Business Development, Mr Anupam Garg, who shared on the company’s experience in operating in liberalised markets and lessons in building successful partnerships. 

“ST Telemedia has been an active player in creating and investing in telecommunications companies in the region in the last decade. We are pleased to share our diverse operating knowledge and experience in markets of different levels of maturity and liberalisation with the Vietnamese government and operators,” said Mr Garg. 

Mr Garg added: “Vietnam is an important market to ST Telemedia. Our involvement in the country’s telecommunications development has been consistent since we established our representative office in Hanoi in September last year. We hope this sharing will contribute, in a modest way, towards generating a vibrant telecommunications industry in Vietnam.”
