(KPL/VNA) President To Lam on July 11 visited Star Telecom (Unitel), a joint venture between Vietnam's Viettel Global JSC and Lao Asia Telecom, as part of his ongoing state visit to Laos.

The Vietnamese State leader hailed efforts and business results of Star Telecom, saying its services have covered even the most remote areas of Laos, significantly contributing to local socio-economic development over the past 15 years.

The company is also taking the lead in providing information technology and digital financial solutions for the Lao Government and people, helping facilitate national digital transformation and e-Government building, while making it easier for Lao residents to carry out financial and payment activities, he said.

Star Telecom should play a pioneering role in digital transformation in Laos and provide products in service of digital transformation at the Lao legislature, Government, ministries and agencies, he said.

The leader urged the company to continue its social welfare programmes in Laos, respecting laws in the host country, and pursuing healthy competition, saying he hopes that the joint venture will continue to be a symbol and a model of economic cooperation between the two countries.

Star Telecom General Director Tran Trung Hung informed the President about the operation of the company that accounts for 57% of the market share in Laos, contributes over 60 million USD to the Lao State budget each year, and generates jobs for over 27,000 workers.
