Prime Minister, Commodore Voreqe Bainimarama said the Alcatel Lucent Company in Shanghai has expressed interest to partner with the Fijian government to further develop the IT industry with e-Gov and IT training.
Commodore Bainimarama who is currently in China was hosted to a briefing by the Chairman of Alcatel, Yuan Xing and was later accorded a tour of one of their factories that manufactures Alcatel electronic products.
The Prime Minister was introduced to a wide range of applications ranging from e-Health, e-security, e-Public Service and e-Education products.
He said he appreciates Alcatel Lucent's contribution to the first phase of Fiji's e-Gov project that resulted in the opening of the new EDP/ITC complex in Suva early this year.
The Prime Minister has shown particular interest in the e-Health application as this system could modernize and improve the provision of health services in the urban centres and isolated hospitals through the use of IT.
