The ministry announced the initiative – alongside the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) – on 2 October to promote digital skills development, in collaboration with the educational institutions.

The launch event, and the signing of the MoU, was presided over by Minister of Post and Telecommunications Chea Vandeth who reiterated that in line with phase I of the government’s Pentagonal Strategy, the establishment of a digital government, economy, society and citizenry necessitates the substantial development of human resources. “The advancement of digital human resources plays a pivotal role in Cambodia’s journey towards becoming a nation with a highly efficient digital economy and administration,” he explained.
