Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh shared with Prime Minister Luxon the rich history of the Temple of Literature, Vietnam’s first university, which was established nearly a thousand years ago. He highlighted Vietnam’s deep-rooted tradition of valuing education and respecting teachers.

The Prime Minister said the Vietnamese Party and State always prioritize education and training as a national policy, ensuring that the country remains committed to fostering knowledge and talent development for future generations.
