The PM lauded contributions by Vallely in the establishment of Fulbright University Vietnam. He said that the Vietnamese Government will continue to create favourable conditions for the university to continue to develop and become one of the high-quality human resources training facilities in Vietnam.

Prime Minister Chinh highlighted the goals of Vietnam’s socio-economic recovery and development program saying that the Government places importance to enhancing dialogues and policy consultations on economic development with world leading research centres.

Mr. Chinh spoke highly of Vallely’s proposal on coordination between Havard University, Fulbright University Vietnam and Vietnamese Government agencies to organise the Vietnam Executive Leadership Programme (VELP) to discuss socio-economic issues in Vietnam.

Vallely thanked the Vietnamese Government for facilitating Fulbright University Vietnam’s operation, affirming that in the time to come, the university will work harder to enhance its training efficiency to become a high-quality training centre in Vietnam as well as in the region.

He pledged to help Vietnam realize solutions to climate change response and green growth promotion, thus turning the country into a model inspiring other developing countries in this regard.
