BANGKOK (NNT) - During a recent meeting with Thai authorities in Bangkok, the head of Romania’s IT committee vowed to work with the Ministry of Digital Economy and Society (DES) on digital technologies and cybersecurity.

 

According to Newin Chochaiyathip, an assistant to the minister of DES, Sabin Sarmas, president of the Information Technology and Communications Committee of the Romanian Chamber of Deputies, made the kind gesture.

 

Supot Tiarawut, president and chief executive officer of the Digital Government Development Agency, and a group of high-ranking officials were also present at the gathering.

 

Sarmas, who was accompanied by Bogdan Badea, the Romanian Ambassador to Thailand at the meeting, is the designated chair of the 2022 ITU Plenipotentiary Conference to be held in Bucharest.

 

Newin congratulated Romania’s hosting of the upcoming ITU conference from September 26 to October 14 while informing the Romanian delegation that Thailand would send a delegation, led by DES Ministry deputy permanent secretary Nattapon Nattasomboon, to the event.

 

The two sides also discussed cooperation throughout the transition to a digital government, collaboration on developing digital services, digital ID, and data sharing, as well as future campaigns on cybersecurity and the interchange of personal data.

Way off the mark. Take a look at this;

 

Romania is the leader in Europe, and sixth in the world, in terms of the number of certified IT specialists, with density rates per 1,000 inhabitants greater than in the US or Russia. There are almost 100,000 specialists in the IT sector. Approximately 5,000 of the 30,000 engineers graduating every year in Romania are trained in ICT.
Microsoft acquired Romanian Antivirus Technology in 2003. According to Microsoft, Romania has a clear potential in information technology, an area in which Romanian students, researchers and entrepreneurs excel.

 

A few years back, during a spate of  mass thievery in UK through IT, it was noted that Romania and Bulgaria had the dubious distinction of being amongst the world's best at it.

Romania is leader in security technology, much of it based on the systems developed under the  Ceausescu regime.

For many years, Romanian gangs have been "credited" for the vast majority of ATM and bank card frauds throughout the western world.

But only fair to add, that the majority of Romanians with vast technical skills

work legally!
