Hosted by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, the meeting aims to review SEAMEO VOCTECH’s operations over the past time and discuss development directions for the time to come.

Speaking at the opening ceremony, Vietnamese Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui Van Ga said that in its role as the 2013 SEAMEO Chair, Vietnam has put forth many action plans and cooperated actively with others in SEAMEO VOCTECH research programmes.
With its contributions, Vietnam wants SEAMEO VOCTECH to become a trusted address in professional education in the Southeast Asian region, Ga added.
