Cisco Gets Two Awards from Vietnam Government

Vietnam’s Ministry of Education and Training has honored Cisco with two awards in recognition of its contribution to advancing education and research in the Communist country, the company announced on Tuesday.

The awards are one of the highest forms of recognition that the Vietnamese government gives to private companies and individuals upon recommendation by Vietnam’s university community.

The awards are likely to propel Cisco’s business further in Vietnam, where a leading bank, State Bank of Vietnam (SBV), is dependent on the network equipment maker for advancing its technologies in order to increase operational efficiencies and regulate the banking system.

The first award is a certificate of appreciation for Cisco’s effort to boost technical education in the country through its “Cisco Networking Academy Program.” The second is an Education Career medal, given to Professor Christopher Hoang Pham, a Cisco senior engineering manager of the U.S.-based Network Software and System Technology Group, for his contribution to research and development through the networking laboratory in the Hanoi University of Technology (HUT), and other educational activities.
