Hanoi (VNA൲) – Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh expressed his hope for further collaboration between China’s Tsinghua University and Vietnamese educational and research institutions while hosting a reception in Hanoi on March 2 for Prof. Dr. Qiu Yong, Secretary of the Tsinghua University’s Party Committee and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences.
The focus should be placed on increasing scholarships for Vietnamese lecturers, students, scientists and experts to pursue studies at the Tsinghua University, PM Chinh told Qiu, who is also an alternate member of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee.
He affirmed Vietnam always regards the development of friendly and cooperative relations with China as a consistent policy, an objective requirement, a strategic choice and a top priority in its foreign policy of independence, self-reliance, diversification and multilateralisation.
The PM expressed his wish and willingness to work with the Chinese Party and Government to further advance the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and the Vietnam-China community with a shared future that carries significance in a healthy, stable, sustainable, and increasingly substantive and effective manner.
The signing of cooperation agreements between the Tsinghua University and the Vietnam National University (VNU) – Hanoi, the VNU – HCM City and the National Economics University not only fosters bilateral academic exchanges and collaboration but also offers valuable opportunities to Vietnamese students, lecturers, and researchers to access cutting-edge knowledge, especially scientific advancements from one of the world’s elite universities, PM Chinh said.
The Vietnamese Party and State attach importance to and consider education a top national policy, he said, adding that the 13th National Party Congress identified human resource development, especially high-quality workforce, as one of three strategic breakthroughs for rapid and sustainable national development.

PM Chinh noted that the Politburo of the Communist Party of Vietnam Central Committee recently decided to eliminate tuition fees for all students at public schools from preschool to high school levels nationwide, starting from the 2025-2026 academic year. This reflects the superiority of the Vietnamese socialist regime and underscores the country’s commitment to ensuring equal access to education, ensuring that no one is left behind, he stressed.
Qiu said he highly values and thoroughly understands PM Chinh’s important directions about boosting ties between the Tsinghua University and Vietnamese agencies, universities, and research institutes, thus contributing to further enriching and deepening the Comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership, as well as the China-Vietnam community with a shared Future that carries strategic significance.

The joint patrol, spanning from Point 1 to Point 9 along the demarcation line of the Gulf of Tonkin, covered a distance of 120 nautical miles.

The Ly Van (Vietnam) – Shuo Long (China) Border Gate will create breakthroughs in trade exchange between the two countries, contributing to the socio-economic development on both sides while building a border line of friendship, prosperity and happiness.
The trip will be made at the invitations of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and WEF President and CEO Børge Brende, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The UN Secretary-General praised Vietnam’s remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and international integration in recent years, noting that the country has emerged as a model in implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), promoting international peace and security, and engaging in key UN processes.

NA Chairman Tran Thanh Man stressed the need to accelerate the application of artificial intelligence and smart teaching equipment, innovate teaching and assessment methods, and further improve the quality of formal education.
He also pledged that the NA will promote its ongoing supervision, making sure that every promise must lead to results, and every commitment must bring about real changes.
Minister of Industry and Trade Nguyen Hong Dien welcomed the proposals put forward by the US side and reiterated Vietnam’s request for consideration of key areas of interest, including reciprocal tariff policies and access for Vietnamese key export products to the US market.
Deputy PM Le Thanh Long proposed countries promote shared values, including building trust, sincerity, and solidarity among nations and peoples; fostering cooperation spirit and responsible behaviour as well as upholding international law and the UN Charter; and placing people at the centre and as the goal, the key player, and the driving force of all policies.
