Hanoi (VNA) – Over 100 Vietnamese and Swedish education managers and experts shared experience on public policy-management in university edꦚucation on November 12 in Hanoi.
The international seminar was co-organised by the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, the Embassy of Sweden in Hanoi and Sweden's Uppsala University.
The workshop focused on assessing public policies and their impacts on education at all levels, from kindergarten, primary, secondary, high school and university.
The workshop was also a forum for foreign education experts to share experiences on training administrative and public management-related human resources with Vietnamese experts.
The Ministry of Education and Training thanked and valued the support from Sweden and cooperation in training at university and post-graduate education, said Deputy Minister of Education and Training Bui Van Ga.
Among the cooperation, Uppsala University has assisted effectively Vietnam's universities and management agencies in establishing and implementing coordination programmes since 1970.
The deputy minister hoped that the seminar would strengthen the cooperation in education and training between the two countries in many fields, and support Vietnam's ongoing process of comprehensive education renovation.
The seminar not only contributed to improving co-operation but also enhanced mutual understanding, opening up new opportunities for cultural and economic cooperation between the two countries.
Vietnam has made a series of achievements in social welfare, including hunger and poverty eradication and measures that help poor people access public services, such as healthcare, education, vocational training, legal advice, housing, clean water, preferential credit and infrastructure development in poor areas.
Vietnam has also developed a social and health insurance system.

Vietnamese Consul General in Fukuoka Vu Chi Mai highlighted the growing demand for Vietnamese workers in Kyushu, especially in Fukuoka, Oita, and Saga prefectures. Currently, the region employs about 35,000 Vietnamese manual workers and over 5,000 IT engineers.
In Vietnam’s case, she said, President Ho Chi Minh demonstrated his strategic vision by founding the revolutionary press a century ago. The late leader understood the press's role not only as a means to reflect the country’s realities but also as a powerful tool to strengthen national unity and inspire the resistance wars and national construction process.

Today, the press for foreign service has evolved into a distinct, irreplaceable force, bridging Vietnam with the world and portraying a nation that is stable, peace-loving, and fully integrated into the international community.

Granma and the VNA have great potential for cooperation, especially in sharing content regularly, so that VNA products are published on Granma platforms and vice versa, thereby helping Cuban and Vietnamese people access true information and gain a deep understanding of each other's country and people.
During his stay in China’s Guangzhou city from 1924 to 1927 to prepare for the establishment of a Communist Party to lead Vietnam’s revolution, President Ho Chi Minh founded “Thanh nien” newspaper and released its first issue on June 21, 1925.

Since President Ho Chi Minh founded Thanh Nien (Young People) newspaper in 1925, the Vietnamese revolutionary press has become the voice of the people. During the resistance war against the colonialists, journalists took great personal risks to inspire patriotism and the will of rising up against foreign invaders.

It has consistently delivered timely, accurate, and objective reports on both domestic and international events, serving the Party’s leadership, the State’s management, and the public’s demand for official news.
