Deputy Prime Minister Hoang Trung Hai asked the Ministry of Information and Communications (MIC) to complete the Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung's draft decision on the imports of products on the banned second-hand information technology products list.

The Deputy Prime Minster also asked MIC to work with the Government Office to check and complete the draft and submit it to the Prime Minister to enforce this month.
