Buenos Aires (VNA) - Vietnamese Ambassador to Brazil Bui Van Nghi attended a presentation of essays by 44 students majoring in international relations at the Higher Education Institute of Brasilia (IESB) of Brazil on December 12 at the invitation of its director Dr. Luiz Claudio Costa.
The event provided the Brazilian students with an opportunity to explore and deeply discuss various topics related to Vietnam such as environment, culture, politics, economy, and tourism; the Southeast Asian nation's security strategy and its post-war resilience; its education system and development in connection with the relationship with Brazil.
These presentations reflect Brazilian students' deep interest in Vietnam, especially in the context that the two countries upgraded their relationship to a strategic partnership on the occasion of Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh's visit to attend the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro in November.
The event helped the students to understand more about Vietnam's practical insights and perspectives on the aspects of the bilateral relationship, shared by the ambassador.
Nghi praised the effort and creative thinking of the students in studying and presenting topics related to Vietnam and the bilateral relations. He emphasised that the areas they chose to explore are potential cooperation fields that should be prioritised and promoted in the future.
Culture, education, sports, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges, along with strengthening information and communication efforts, are key foundations for building a sustainable relationship between the two nations, he stressed, adding that students serve as a bridge and the most vivid evidence in promoting a deeper understanding between the two countries./.
