China's Ministry of Information Industry (MII) and Microsoft China have jointly launched a month-long training program for 100 IT managers from enterprises of northeastern China regions, sources said Tuesday.

The program, which started on Sunday and includes courses on software development, project management and quality management, aims to provide technological assistance and support for local enterprises and step up their IT application and service, said Zhang Qi, director of the MII's electronics and information administration.

Meanwhile, the MII launched the program in a bid to carry out the central government's strategy for rejuvenating China's traditional industrial base in these regions, according to Zhang.

"IT popularization and application can play a key role in upgrading traditional industries and improving their creativity and competitiveness," Zhang said.

Microsoft global vice-president and Greater China CEO Tim Chen also expressed his hopes to help northeastern China regions regain the vitality in industrial development through the company's IT service.

China's northeastern provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, known as "the industrial cradle of new China", contributed the country's first batch of steel, machine tools, locomotives and planes after the founding of new China in 1949. However, they have fallen behind in economic development in recentyears, though they still have potential in these industrial sectors.

Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao's inspection tour in northeastern China in August 2003 ignited the launch of a new round of development in these regions, whose revival has been listed by the central government as a third most important long-term strategy after the opening-up in the southeast more than two decades ago and the western development policy four years ago.
