NEU was established under Decree No. 678-TTg dated January 25, 1956, initially named the School of Economics and Finance. The University was placed within the Vietnam People’s University system, directly under the Prime Minister. NEU envisions becoming a multidisciplinary, multi-field, research-oriented university ranked among Vietnam’s top five universities and Asia’s top 100 universities in economics, management, and business administration under international ranking standards. One of its first strategies toward this vision was to develop and transition to a three-tier university organizational model. Based on this goal, NEU developed a proposal to establish constituent colleges, promptly sought feedback from all University staff and employees to finalize the proposal, and issued resolutions establishing the three colleges.

Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong, President of NEU, shared: “NEU has undergone nearly 70 years of establishment, institution-building, and development. Although many difficulties and challenges lie ahead, today we have every right to be proud of what we have accomplished. Today’s achievements are the culmination of the intellect, efforts, and solidarity of generations of leaders, staff, employees, and students. We have every right to be proud of our facilities, our teaching quality, and the University’s increasingly strong standing in society.”
Prof. Dr. Pham Hong Chuong also emphasized that the world is undergoing considerable change and science and technology are making remarkable new advances. Humanity stands on the threshold of profound change and development in the future, but also faces many potential challenges and unknowns. In this context, strengthening solidarity, joint effort, and unity among the University’s educators is more necessary than ever to gradually transform NEU into a multidisciplinary, multi-field, exemplary university in the years ahead. The President expressed confidence that, with this spirit and its core and humanistic values, NEU would continue to pioneer education and research across all fields, contributing to development, fulfilling its social responsibility, and achieving further accomplishments and new breakthroughs as it advances toward regional stature and international integration.
On behalf of the University’s leadership, Prof. Pham Hong Chuong also congratulated faculty members who had been appointed or reappointed and wished them even stronger performance in their new roles. He wished all faculty members good health, happiness, and success.
