Caracas (VNA) - A delegation from the Vietnamese Ministry of Science and Technology led by Prof. Dr. Tu Minh Phuong, Chairman of the Council of the Posts and Telecommunications Institute of Technology (PTIT), visited Venezuela from May 27-31 to bolster cooperation in science and technology.

Venezuelan Vice President and Minister of Science and Technology Gabriela Jiménez Ramírez stressed that amid embargo, the Venezuelan Government is prioritising sustainable sci-tech for the benefit of citizens and national sovereignty. To this end, Venezuela attaches importance to expanding sci-tech cooperation with traditional friends like China, Russia, Vietnam, and Iran.

Sci-tech collaboration with Vietnam, rooted in bilateral comprehensive partnership, would support the two nations’ socio-economic development. She expressed particular interest in Vietnam’s expertise in artificial intelligence, innovation, information technology, and digital transformation.

Phuong, in reply, thanked the Venezuelan people and progressive forces for their solidarity and support, both during Vietnam’s past struggles for national liberation and reunification, and in the ongoing national construction and defence.

He underscored Vietnam’s view of sci-tech as a decisive factor in national development and a key tool for achieving sustainable development goals, and affirmed Vietnam’s readiness to boost sci-tech cooperation with Venezuela for mutual prosperity.

Vice Rector of the Central University of Venezuela (UNC) Roberto Bertancourt noted that the Venezuelan Government’s establishment of the UNC demonstrates its determination to make Venezuela a leading scientific research and development hub in Latin America. Operating under the direct management of the Venezuelan Ministry of Science and Technology, UNC will play a core role in training quality workforce, fostering talent, and advancing studies in key and cutting-edge technologies.

A key outcome of the visit was a memorandum of understanding signed between PTIT and UNC, which focuses on exchanging educational and training courses and projects, promoting lecturer and student exchanges, and holding joint scientific workshops.

During their stay, the Vietnamese delegation attended the UNC inauguration, attended an international conference on science for a shared future, and visited the Vietnamese Embassy in Caracas./.
