The forum looking to establish bilateral sustainable education partnership brought together representatives from leading 100 universities and academic organisations from both sides.
Deputy PM Ninh also told participants that the training of human resources of high calibre has been defined as one of the strategic breakthroughs being pursued by Vietnam to achieve sustainable development and integration, expecting the forum would foster partnerships in this regard.
He informed that under the law on higher education issued in 2012, local universities are working to strengthen their links with English peers and enterprises.
Vietnam British Council Director Cherry Gough expressed her hope that the forum will lay a firm foundation to broader cooperation at both university and state levels.
