Helzer, in reply, thanked the Vietnamese Government and the ministry for their support to the university in recent years.

Construction of the university's new campus at Saigon Hi-Tech Park is on schedule, with the first phase due for completion in October 2026, a milestone that will set the stage for continued strong growth, he said.

He agreed with the host's proposals, saying that the university is pushing to expand its curricula to match Vietnam's evolving needs, including new disciplines in science and technology.

Fulbright University Vietnam remains committed to helping train Vietnam's workforce as the country overhauls its development model, Helzer affirmed./.
