OREANDA-NEWS. Fujitsu Limited and the Ministry Of Natural Resources and Environment (MONRE) of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam) today announced that they will begin talks on using ICT to enable more sophisticated management of Vietnam's natural resources and environment.

After having entered into a basic agreement on the start of the talks, from October, Fujitsu and MONRE will hold workshops to consider specific uses of ICT for the sophisticated management of eight areas of natural resources and the environment: land, water resources, geology and mineral resources, environment, hydrometeorology, survey and mapping, ocean and islands, and remote sensing.

The aim of these talks is for the parties to identify issues for applying IT in Vietnam's management of resources and the environment and, leveraging Fujitsu's technological expertise, jointly develop advanced solutions that are tailored to Vietnam's policies, customs, and current resources of MONRE.

To resolve issues Vietnam is facing in the eight resource and environmental management areas mentioned above, Fujitsu and MONRE will hold workshops, where they will seek to develop specific solutions using ICT tailored to Vietnam's policies, customs, and natural environment.

At the workshops, Fujitsu will introduce its latest technologies and case studies of its work inside and outside Japan involving land information management solutions and other uses of ICT. It will also propose natural resource and environmental management solutions for MONRE. For its part, MONRE will provide information on the fundamental causes of the management issues Vietnam is facing in the area of natural resources and the environment as well as the requirements to be observed when developing solutions tailored to Vietnam's policies, customs, and natural environment. At the same time, it will carry out an evaluation of Fujitsu's proposals.

Through these workshops, Fujitsu and MONRE aim to jointly develop advanced natural resource and environmental management solutions, possibly with the cooperation of other ministries or agencies in Vietnam, as necessary.
