Hanoi (July 13)♍ – President To Lam on July 13 visited the Royal University of Phnom Penh (RUPP) within the framework of his state visit to Cambodia.
Established in 1960, it is Cambodia's oldest and largest university. It hosts around 20,000 students in undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.
Within the framework of the higher education cooperation programme between Vietnam and Cambodia for the 2001-2025 period, Cambodia established the Institute of International Studies and Public Policy at the RUPP including the Faculty of Vietnamese Studies with the aim of further promoting cooperation between Cambodia and Vietnam.
Cambodian students will be properly trained in Vietnamese at the faculty before considering studying in Vietnam.
Meeting with the university’s staff, lecturers and students, the President appreciated the university’s achievements, especially in providing important and abundant human resources for the national development of Cambodia.
Lam said that he is delighted to see Cambodia’s positive developments and the growing comprehensive cooperation between Vietnam and Cambodia, particularly education cooperation - a bright spot in the two countries’ relations.
Praising the cooperation programme between the RUPP and the Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City in establishing a centre for Vietnamese language and Vietnamese studies, he hoped the centre will become a cradle for Cambodian and international students to learn Vietnamese language and culture to better understand and love Vietnam and its people.
The President also thanked the RUPP for training generations of Vietnamese students in Khmer language, many of whom have contributed to cultivating the good relations between the two countries.
He also hoped that the Cambodian Ministry of Education, Youth and Sports and the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training will continue to cooperate closely and exchange experience with each other.
Vietnam welcomes and is ready to receive Cambodian students in general and the RUPP students in particular to study and research in the country, he said.
On this occasion, Vietnam's FPT Corporation gave 50 FPT Elead computer sets to the RUPP./.

In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago.

Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people.
