Welcoming the delegation were Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tran Van Trung – Head of the Department of Science, Technology and International Cooperation, representatives of the university’s affiliated units, and Lao international students currently studying at the university.
Speaking at the meeting, Mr. Huynh Thanh Nha acknowledged and highly appreciated the university’s attention and support for the Lao student community over the years. He emphasized that Bunpimay is not only an important traditional festival of the Lao people but also an opportunity to strengthen solidarity and mutual support among international students, educational institutions, management agencies, and the Lao community living and studying in Vietnam. Mr. Huynh Thanh Nha also encouraged the Lao students to continue striving in their studies and self-improvement, successfully complete their training programs on schedule, and contribute to the development of their homeland upon returning home. At the same time, he expressed his expectation that the students would continue promoting their sense of responsibility and become active contributors to people-to-people exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in the future. He stressed that each Lao student is not only a representative of the younger generation of the Lao People’s Democratic Republic but also an important bridge contributing to the strengthening and promotion of the great friendship, special solidarity, and comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Laos. Through studying, training, and cultural exchanges in Vietnam, Lao students will continue to foster cultural and educational connections and deepen the friendship between the peoples of the two countries, thereby contributing positively to sustainable development and cooperation in the future.
