Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on September 1 received Prof. John Anthony Quelch, Associate Dean of the Harvard Business School, who is on a working visit to Vietnam.

At the reception, PM Dung (second from left) briefed the professor about Vietnam's economic situation after 20 years of renovation. He noted that Vietnam was in the process of implementing four major policies to stimulate economic development, namely a market-oriented economy, effective state management, international integration, and sound state governance based on principles of democracy and social justice.

He expressed his wish that the Harvard Business School will create conditions for Vietnamese cadres and students to study at Harvard and strengthen co-operation with Vietnam in education and training.

Harvard University has so far trained 60 Vietnamese students, most of whom had realised their full potential, according to Prof. Quelch.

He acknowledged Vietnam's positive achievements in the education and training sector. He said he hoped to enroll more Vietnamese students to study at Harvard. (VNA)
