ĐBP – Chairman of the Điện Biên Provincial People's Committee, Lê Thành Đô, expressed his hope that the World University Service (WUS) and the Hesse Office in Việt Nam would continue to serve as a bridge connecting Điện Biên Province with German enterprises to foster cooperation in fields of mutual interest.

He made these remarks on Monday while hosting a delegation from the Hesse Office in Việt Nam, which coordinates and supports cooperative activities between Germany and Việt Nam. The delegation was led by Kambiz Ghawami, President of the WUS and an authorised representative of the state of Hesse.

Chairman Đô expressed his wish for the WUS and the Hesse Office to enhance connections between Điện Biên and German enterprises, focusing on areas such as labour export, education and training, management training, and implementing projects on clean water supply and environmental protection.

He particularly emphasised support for training doctoral candidates as part of preparations for establishing Điện Biên Phủ University and providing short-term training for provincial managers, teachers, and lecturers in Germany.
