On this event, the city Party Chief congratulated great achievements of the university in previous time since it ranked the first among top universities in Indonesia and the 57th in Asia.
Besides that, the Vietnamese leader desired to listen to experiences on building an educational program and a vision of becoming regional and international higher education and research institutions, policies to encourage students and creative start-up activities.
However, Vietnam's education is facing challenges, especially not promoting the creativity of teachers, managers and students. Therefore, the universities are very interested in internationalized promotion and integration through affiliate programs to take full advantage of technology, initiatives as well as high quality teachers.
Secretary Nguyen Thien Nhan affirmed that Ho Chi Minh City is home of the country’s best universities, of which, Vietnam National University - Ho Chi Minh City plays a key role in the city's higher education system, being multidisciplinary training system with affiliated member universities.
Therefore, Mr. Nguyen Thien Nhan suggested more and more cooperation between the University of Indonesia and Vietnam National University -Ho Chi Minh City.
He believed that this educational cooperation will be increasingly developed, contributing to training high quality human resources for Ho Chi Minh City.
