The partnership will allow the universities to conduct joint teaching and research activities, including the development of a plan for two-way academic mobility for students and academic staff.

The parties also expressed their readiness for in-depth cultural exchange, as well as the organisation of joint forums, seminars and courses on economics and business. The plans include an overseas study tour for students of HSE University-St Petersburg, which will feature a short-term educational course at Vietnam National University and a comprehensive cultural programme.

Another area of cooperation is the creation of a joint educational module on business management in Vietnam. In this module, Russian students can get acquainted with the industry partners of VNU-UEB.

At the signing ceremony, Dr Nguyen Truc Le emphasised that cooperation between faculties, lecturers, researchers, students, and scholars from both universities would play a pivotal role in fostering cooperation between Vietnam and Russia at the highest level.

Our universities share the common goal of providing an education that changes students' lives and opens up new educational and career horizons. The University of Economics and Business is famous for its high quality of teaching and research and clear focus on students' success. In turn, HSE University with its wide global reach and market knowledge is ready to support talented students from Vietnam and provide the best academic opportunities.

The visit was actively supported by the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia. Mai Nguyen Tuyet Hoa, First Secretary of the Education Department at the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia, emphasised the importance of business, research and educational contacts between the countries: 'HSE University is a world-famous leading expert centre in the study of economics and management. Like the University of Economics and Business in Hanoi, HSE University plays a significant role in the social, socio-cultural, economic and political agenda. Both universities also set the priority tasks for interdisciplinary, international and intercultural openness. This brings us together and creates huge prospects for mutually beneficial cooperation.'
