Speaking at the ceremony, Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, Vice President of NEU, welcomed the faculty, staff, and students attending NEU Summer Program 2025 and affirmed that the program demonstrates the growing breadth and depth of cooperation between NEU and its partner universities around the world.

“You come from countries with well-developed academic traditions and rich cultures. Your presence at NEU reflects international connections in education and a spirit of learning without borders,” Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu said.

Assoc. Prof. Nguyen Thanh Hieu, Vice President of NEU, noted that NEU Summer Program 2025 not only provides knowledge of economics, management, and Vietnamese culture, but also enables international students to experience life in Hanoi, interact with peers from many countries, and participate in experiential learning activities. “We believe that, beyond formal classes, you will learn a great deal from interacting with one another, from discussions and field trips, and from everyday moments on campus.”

Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thanh Hieu also expressed his hope that NEU would be not only an academic destination but also a cherished memory in the international students’ youth. He affirmed that NEU always welcomes students from around the globe and expressed confidence that programs such as Summer Program would help build a young generation without borders—one in which knowledge goes hand in hand with empathy and understanding is nurtured through genuine experiences.
