On November 12, the delegation visited the LSBU and signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on bilateral cooperation in the presence of representatives from the Vietnamese Embassy. Discussions focused on potential collaborations, including joint academic programmes, teacher training partnerships, and the application of information technology in teaching. Plans for short-term courses on teaching and research skills lasting three to nine months were also explored. The LSBU’s side emphasised its commitment to expanding international collaboration with a focus on Southeast Asia, identifying Vietnam as a potential destination.
The MoU saw the two universities affirming their commitment to working together in the areas of student exchange, short-term study programmes, faculty and expert exchange, digital resource sharing, and professional development programs. Additionally, they pledged to foster academic and cultural exchanges.
✃ The visit is part of the British Council’s broader Going Global Partnerships initiative, supporting the HCMUE’s strategy to diversify international collaborations with universities and organisations worldwide.
