In 2013, the ICT industry kept a steady growth when the economy of Viet Nam showed signals of recovery. On October 16th in 2013, the Government of Viet Nam promulgated the Decree No. 132/2013/ND-CP that regulates the organizational structure, functions and duties of the ministry, strengthens its role of state management to meet the demand for development of the line sectors under MIC’s management as well as to serve people and enterprises more effectively. At the beginning of the year 2014, the Prime Minister of Viet Nam established the National Commission on Application of Information Technology (NCAIT). Specially on July 01st in 2014, the Bureau of Politics of Viet Nam Communist Party promulgated the Resolution No. 36-NQ/TW on boosting the use and development of ICT to meet the demand for sustainable development and international integration. These emphasize the determination of the Party and Government of Viet Nam in pushing up the use and development of ICT in order to create breakthroughs of socio - economic development of the country. In comparison with the previous years’ compilation, to facilitate readers’ convenience, the information and data in this book are arranged by line sectors, e.g. IT use, IT industry, information security, etc. In addition, the 2014 White Book provides new useful information such as the export and import of hardware - electronics products, radio and TV channels, websites, online games, social networks, R&D on ICT. We believe that the 2014 White Book will be a helpful document for state agencies, organizations, domestic and foreign enterprises in updating information on Viet Nam ICT. We would like to appreciate readers for their comments to improve the quality of the subsequent editions
