An electronic library will be built with Korea's assistance at the People's Police Academy (PPA) in the Vietnamese capital, Hanoi.
An explanatory session to launch the e-library was held on January 12 at the PPA. Over 100 officials from both Korea and Vietnam, including Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Public Security Dang Van Hieu, attended the session.
The Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) plans to spend a total of USD 2.3 million by 2016 to build an e-library at the PPA and share with the organization its operating knowhow. The library will open in 2016.
The Vietnamese government takes great interest in improving library conditions and establishing a sufficient number of libraries to satisfy the public's need for knowledge and information.
The establishment of an e-library at the PPA is part of the Vietnamese government's "high-quality education for all by 2020" campaign, which is aimed at improving the nation's educational infrastructure.
"I hope that the creation of an e-library at the PPA will further strengthen bilateral exchanges and cooperation between Korea and Vietnam and that it will help improve security," said a KOICA official.
