Sydney (VNA) – Students from the University of Adelaide of Australia have shared their deep impression of Vietnamese culture after joining a two-week study tour in Vietnam through the New Colombo Plan Scholarship Programme.

According to Dr. Tran Nam Nghiep – Associate Dean of International Strategic Partnerships for South East Asia in the Faculty of Sciences, Engineering and Technology (SET) at the University of Adelaide, with the support of the Australian government, the faculty sent a group of 33 students to Vietnam for the field trip from mid-September to early October 2022.

Nghiep said the tour aimed to strengthen strategic partnership between the University of Adelaide and Vietnamese universities, and open new opportunities for cooperation among parties.

During their stay, Australian students visited the Australian Embassy in Hanoi, the Australian Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City, seven partner universities and three companies operating in to water and environment in Vietnam. Most of them said that they were interested in the tour, and impressed by the Vietnamese culture and language.
