Started in 2005, the annual scholarship programme for Overseas Vietnamese students with outstanding academic performance actualised a bilateral cooperation agreement on education and training as well as a human resource development and education cooperation plan between the two governments. The number of scholarships offered rose from five in 2005 to 30 at present.
Vietnam News Agency quoted Vietnamese Ambassador to Laos Nguyen Manh Hung saying that the scholarships manifested the special care of the Vietnamese Party, Government and people for Vietnamese expats in Laos, hoping the talented young generation will help strengthen the special ties and overall cooperation between the two countries.
The diplomat asked the Vietnamese associations in Laos to pay attention to creating more good conditions for their children to study and preserve the homeland cultural identity.
