Vietnam Post has status confirmed by returning Prime Minister

Vietnamese Prime Minister Nguyen Ta Dung has confirmed that Vietnam Post will continue providing public postal services under his new government. Dung signed a regulation establishing the Post’s status following his own confirmation, by the National Assembly last week, for a second term of office as Prime Minister.

Following the appointment of his new Cabinet – including Nguyen Bac Son as minister of information and communications – Dung set out that Vietnam Post will provide domestic and international postal services under the control of the Ministry of Information and Communications.

Vietnam Post will also be responsible for fulfilling existing international postal treaties and will engage with the Universal Postal Union and the Asia-Pacific Universal Postal Union (APPU).

In a statement, Vietnam Post confirmed: “The Prime Minister appointed the Postal Corporation of Vietnam (VNPost) to maintain business performance, management of public postal network, providing public postal services according to his State plan; providing international postal services and other services within the framework of international postal treaties signed by Vietnam.”

Last week’s inauguration speech, after the Prime Minister was re-elected by the country’s Communist Party, saw Dung pledging to make widespread reforms in the wake of the global downturn.

Some of the key priorities of his government, he said, would be to bring in major administrative reforms, to foster more competition in business and to improve the country’s transport infrastructure.

Dung first took office as Prime Minister in 2006, when he restructured the then-Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Corporation, which was established in 1995, into the Vietnam Post and Telecommunications Group.
