KISDI President John H. Lee and researchers welcomed the Vietnamese delegation and made an introductory presentation on KISDI. KISDI President Lee expressed his thanks to them for the successful completion of the "Vietnamese e-Government Roadmap" project, which had been jointly carried out by KISDI and the NIPTS last year. President Lee said that he hoped to achieve synergy through various joint projects based on cooperative relations with the NIPTS.

KISDI helps Vietnam effectively apply the outcome of the project in its actual policy development by providing Vietnamese officials with an opportunity to fully comprehend the roadmap through training programs.

KISDI has mobilized top-level experts to provide basic data and policy directions to Vietnam for the " Vietnamese ICT Legislation Project." KISDI plans to create a mid- and long-term roadmap including priority setting in ICT policy and legislation for Vietnam by next April based on Korea's experience in ICT policy development.

The Vietnamese ICT Legislation Project was the second joint project conducted by KISDI and the NIPTS and laid the foundation for bilateral cooperation in ICT research between Korea and Vietnam.
