Speaking at the reception, Mr Hai expressed his pleasure that the relationship between Vietnam and Ireland has improved and Ireland has become a close friend of Vietnam. Currently, more and more Irish companies have invested in Vietnam, and more and more Vietnamese students have chosen Ireland as a reliable destination for study and research. Mr. Hai affirmed that the Minister's visit marked a new step in the cooperation between the two countries, especially in education.

The city Party Secretary expresses his gratitude for the effective assistance that the Government and people have given to Vietnam in recent years, especially in the fields of poverty reduction, education and training, rural development, energy and electricity. In addition, the Irish community in Vietnam has made positive contributions, which are appreciated by Vietnamese people.

Thanks to the warm welcome of Secretary Hoang Trung Hai, Minister Richard Bruton said that education plays a very important role in the development of the country. This is also one of the motivations to help Ireland overcome difficulties and grow strongly. Like Vietnam, Ireland is always looking for solutions to meet the needs of industry, especially with the rapid development of information technology in the current context.

The visiting Minister said that Ireland is actively seeking and promoting trade with other countries in the world. He hopes cooperation will continue to open up more opportunities for both sides, not only in education, but also in different fields, on the basis of mutual benefit./.
