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 program between the RUPP and the Vietnam National University – Ho Chi Minh City in establishing a center for Vietnamese language and Vietnamese studies, he hoped the center will become a cradle for Cambodian and international students to learn Vietnamese language and culture to better understand and love Vietnam and its people.
