  • Adjusted, strengthened, assigned, and allocated all duties and works of MPTC. 
  • Established mechanisms and working groups to monitor and follow-up the implementation of the work plan.

After the presentation of H.E Sarak Khan, Secretary of State, on general situation of MPTC; interventions of line units; and recommendations of provincial Departments of Posts and Telecommunications (DPT), H.E Prak Sokhonn concluded that the conference has been performed smoothly and fruitfully.
“We reviewed the accomplishments of 2014 and identified key mechanisms and new strategic goals for 2015 to advance the three sectors, as well as how to contribute to boosting economic growth and people’s livelihoods in line with the fifth mandate policy of the Royal Government,” he said.
In his closing speech, he emphasized his strong belief that all officials and staff under MPTC and its development partners will actively continue their support to accomplish the plans outlined at the conference.
