Deputy PM Nhân praised for the Foundation's experience and long-standing tradition, especially in the field of education and training. He expressed his hope that it will continue to grant more assistance to Việt Nam, including a PhD training program. 

Chairman Mult Hans Zehetmairr revealed the Foundation's concerns for the establishment of the Việt Nam-Germany University in Hồ Chí Minh City this year, the first academy with a German rector and using German curriculum.

On the occasion, the Chairman committed that the Foundation will grant Việt Nam more PhD scholarships to teachers. He said that he will come back to Việt Nam for the inauguration of the Việt Nam-Germany University on September 10, 2008.
