Cooperation in education and human resources is an important aspect of the Vietnam-Thailand relationship. With the signing of these MoUs, the two countries show their determination to develop, and create opportunities for students to have a multicultural learning environment, and opportunities to develop in the fields of science, technology, and innovation.

Through projects and exchanges, I believe that the universities will make strong contributions to the two countries' relations.

The value of these documents lies in the opportunities they provide to students and educational institutions, with a common vision, goal, and aspiration to nurture young talents, towards a closer friendship and cooperation between the two countries.
