Vietnam and New Zealand expect to build sustainable mechanisms for educational cooperation following the signing of a bilateral agreement on August 5.

The document, which was reached during a forum held in Hanoi, will serve as the basis for many joint education-training programmes between the two countries.

The agreement will also help tighten links between the two countries’ universities and raise the number of Vietnamese students in New Zealand.

Vietnam will also have opportunities to improve its education quality and the capacity of its labour force.

The Hanoi forum was co-chaired by Vietnamese Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan and New Zealand Minister of Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment Steven Joyce.

At the event, representatives from universities and academies of Vietnam and New Zealand discussed cooperation strategies and sought ways to enhance collaboration in the field between the two countries.

Minister Luan said the forum is part of activities to mark the 40 th anniversary of Vietnam-New Zealand diplomatic ties.

He stressed New Zealand’s efficient assistance in giving English training to Vietnamese educators and managers as well as sharing experience in combining education with scientific research and technological transfer, helping boost socio-economic development in Vietnam.

Minister Steven Joyce said the agreement is a milestone in the two countries’ partnership in education and socio-economic development.

According to the minister, Vietnam ranks 11th among countries with the highest number of students studying in New Zealand with about 2,000 students enrolled each year.

On the occasion, Vietnam’s northern province of Quang Ninh and New Zealand’s Auckland University of Technology signed an agreement on cooperation in education and tourism.

Accordingly, the New Zealand university will help Quang Ninh in personnel training for the tourism and hotel sector, helping the coastal province bring into full play its strength in the non-smoke industry.-VNA
