Speaking at the ceremony, Indian Ambassador to Vietnam Sandeep Arya expressed his delight at the strong and sustainable cooperation between Vietnam and India.

The ITEC program is a key component of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations. To date, the program has provided scholarships to over 3,400 students from various Vietnamese ministries, departments, sectors, schools, banks, and press agencies. These scholarships cover a wide range of courses, including management, information technology, national security and defense, business, environment, and agriculture. The number of scholarships from the ITEC program in Vietnam continues to rise, reaching approximately 200, with a particular focus on civil and defense courses.

"I hope that the success and progress of our students will reflect the success and progress of the Vietnam-India bilateral relationship," stated Ambassador Sandeep Arya.

Pham Quang Hung, Director of the Department of International Cooperation at the Ministry of Education and Training, highlighted that the participation of Vietnamese students in the ITEC program is a testament to the robust cooperation between Vietnam and India.

Over the past 30 years, the ITEC program has trained thousands of Vietnamese cadres, lecturers, and civil servants across various fields. This has significantly contributed to improving human resource quality and advancing Vietnam's goals of industrialization and modernization. The ITEC program serves as a bridge, strengthening educational and training cooperation between Vietnam and India, and enhancing the overall bilateral relationship between the two countries.
