This model leverages the combined strengths of all the parties and embodies the spirit of the Resolutions of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the Government, and the National Assembly regarding the promotion of science and technology, innovation, and the development of high-quality human resources.
VNU’s leadership firmly believes that, with the shared commitment and determination of the parties involved, the signed cooperation agreements will be effectively implemented and bring about broad and positive impacts on the academic community, the youth, and the broader society. VNU reaffirms its commitment to serving as an effective bridge connecting universities, research institutions, and enterprises of both countries, contributing to the development of exemplary educational cooperation models in the region and the world.
