PM Han Sung-soo made the remark on October 9 while receiving the visiting Vietnamese Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Thien Nhan, who arrived that day to learn more about the host country’s experiences in education and to look for ways to foster bilateral cooperation in the fields of education-training, science-technology and high-quality human resource development.

The RoK government’s leader affirmed that his country will do its utmost to transfer advanced technologies to Vietnam and support the country’s development process.

Deputy PM Nhan spoke highly of the RoK’s position in developing cooperative ties with Vietnam and said that cultural and historical similarities between the two will lay a firm foundation for closer cooperation between the two countries in the future.

Earlier the same day, Nhan and his entourage, including 21 officials from the Government Office and the Ministry of Education and Training and the heads of universities from across the nation, worked with the Korean Educational Development Institute and the Korea Research Institute for Education and Training.

The Deputy PM emphasised the role of information technology in education and training and described the RoK as Vietnam’s strategic partner in this area. He expressed his wish that the RoK Government would provide a greater number of postgraduate scholarships in science and technology for Vietnamese students.

Nhan is scheduled to meet with the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of Education, Science and Technology on October 10.
