At the meeting, President Nguyen Van Trao stated that years ago, the University of Canberra was one of the higher education institutions in Australia that received many scholars from Vietnam in the field of linguistics.

Vice Rector Gartner hoped that through this working session, the cooperation relationship between the two universities could be further strengthened upon consideration for cooperation expansion. He also suggested that both institutions could implemented concrete activities, such as student exchange, faculty exchange, 2+2 program…
