  • fostering human resource development in Internet-related fields;

  • providing technical support, technology transfer, and guidance on the transition to next-generation Internet (IPv6) in Laos;

These efforts aim to strengthen LANIC’s operational capacity and support the sustainable development of Laos’ national Internet infrastructure.

The signing ceremony of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between VNNIC, LANIC, and LTRA took place under the witness of the leadership of the Ministry of Information and Communications of Vietnam and the Ministry of Technology and Communications of Laos.
