France will assist Vietnam to cope with climate change, education and training, including expanding the teaching of the French language and training cadres in science and technology, said the French Ambassador to Vietnam Jean - Francois Girault.
At a reception given by Vice State President Nguyen Thi Doan in Ha Noi on December 8, Ambassador Girault said that Vietnam is one of Frances strategic Asian partners, not only because of its historical ties but also due to the country’s strong development and increasing role in the global community.
The French diplomat said that increasing the teaching of French language is not to compete with other languages but is to protect the diversity of languages.
He said he hoped that the Vietnamese Government will continue to provide well qualified staff to teach French in the country.
France will also help Vietnam respond to climate change while strengthening its existing trade ties, which have failed to live up to the expectations of both countries, he added.
Vice President Doan welcomed France ’s policies on Vietnam in economics, culture, education, development cooperation, investment and other fields.
Vietnam has always attaches a great deal of importance to cooperation with France , confirmed the Vice President.
She suggested that both countries increase exchanges and jointly implement previously signed agreements to promote bilateral ties.
The French language is now being taught in primary and junior secondary schools in Vietnam to make French language become one of the country’s major foreign languages, said Doan.
However, the two Governments’ commitment need to be carried out at grass root levels, she said.
It is necessary to have various ways of spreading the use of the French language and the French culture, as well as ensuring the necessary resources for teaching and creating the best possible conditions for those who are good at the French language, she said./.
