Speaking at the seminar, Senior Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Hong Thai emphasized that 2026 marks a significant milestone - the 10^th anniversary of the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership between Vietnam and India.

He noted that India is a populous nation with a developed economy and is an active member of international peacekeeping activities. Currently, in the field of Information Technology, India serves as a global innovation hub with a diverse culture. Studying in India provides more than just an opportunity to enhance professional expertise; it is a chance for cultural exchange, language proficiency improvement, and the absorption of the "quintessence" of a partner nation. This directly contributes to building a high-quality workforce to serve the cause of national security and national development in the digital era.
