Hanoi (VNA) – The association of Vietnamese experts of science and technology in Sweden was set up at a ceremony in Stockholm on June 29, aiming to connect and promote the potential of Vietnamese scientists in the host country.
The association is identified as a non-profit, non-governmental organisation aiming to update information, share knowledge and experience related to science and technology for members and the Vietnamese community in Sweden, connect them with those in the homeland and other countries, and support the two countries’ cooperation in this field.
The association elected a 13-member executive board for the first term in 2024-2026, with Associate Professor, Dr. Do Quang Minh, senior expert at Thermo-Calc Software, as its President.
In addition to experts of Vietnamese origin, the association also established an advisory board gathering Swedish experts who love the country and people of Vietnam. Many of them have lived and worked in the Southeast Asian country and have made many contributions to its development.
Stressing that the establishment of the association is a highlight among activities in celebration of the 55th anniversary of the two countries’ diplomatic ties, Vietnamese Ambassador to Sweden Tran Van Tuan expressed his belief that the association will attract more members, contribute to Vietnam’s science and technology sector, and serve as a bridge connecting Vietnam and Sweden./.
