Prague (VNA) – A roundtable conference on cooperation in education and scientific research between Vietnam and the Czech Republic was held in Prague on June 6.

The event was co-chaired by Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Education and Training Nguyen Van Phuc and Vietnamese Ambassador to the Czech Republic Dương Hoai Nam. It brought together representatives from universities, research institutes, and businesses of both countries, along with the Confederation of Industry of the Czech Republic (SPCR).

The Czech side underscored the commitment to creating favourable conditions for Vietnamese students and proposed increasing the number of scholarships, considering it a strategic investment in the future of bilateral cooperation.

One of the key outcomes of the conference was the proposal to establish a Vietnam–Czech education and research cooperation centre, laying the foundation for sustainable academic collaboration between the two countries.

The same day, a seminar on promoting strategic cooperation in higher education and scientific research was held at the headquarters of the association of Vietnamese in the Czech Republic.

Participants emphasised the role of Vietnamese intellectuals in the Czech Republic as vital bridges between Vietnam and Europe.

The preservation of the Vietnamese language and culture within the Vietnamese community in the Czech Republic was also an important topic of discussion. Delegates proposed that the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training support the development of a Vietnamese language curriculum tailored to the European context./.
