20 strong research establishments on Vietnamese studies identified
Head of the organising board Prof. Nguyen Huu Duc said through the fifth international conference on Vietnamese studies, organisers identified 10 research establishments strong at traditional issues of Vietnamese studies, and 10 others based in other countries.
The fifth international conference on Vietnamese studies concluded in Hanoi on December 16 afternoon after two days of in-depth discussion on sustainable development issues.
Speaking at the conference, Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Vu Duc Dam said Vietnam has scored comprehensive achievements during the renovation and is considered the world’s second fastest growing economy by the international community.
According to the Deputy PM, peace and cooperation are still a key global trend today but there remain latent risks such as sovereignty and religion conflicts, non-traditional security, climate change and epidemic diseases, which require nations to join hands on the basis of respect to international law, national sovereignty, interests and culture.
At present, Vietnam faces national resources depletion, environment pollution, inequality in terms of access to basic services, and moral degradation, he said.
Looking toward sustainable development, Dam suggested bringing into play personal creativity, technological advances and cultural richness.
The Deputy Prime Minister called on scientists to provide scientific findings and recommendations for national development
During the two-day event, participants discussed six fields of global diplomacy, cooperation and integration; cultural resources; education and human resources; knowledge and technological transfer; economy and livelihoods; and climate change.
Addressing the closing ceremony, head of the organising board Prof. Nguyen Huu Duc, Deputy Director of the Vietnam National University, Hanoi (VNU),said through the conference, organisers identified 10 research establishments strong at traditional issues of Vietnamese studies, and 10 others based in other countries which are strong at Vietnam’s science-technology issues. Those establishments have released many in-depth research findings about Vietnam.
The organising board also recognised 50 leading researchers on Vietnamese studies, including foreigners, Vietnamese expatriates and Vietnamese people who are working in the country.
Prof. Nguyen Huu Duc noted the VNU-Hanoi will begin publishing a journal on Vietnam in 2017 which will be a platform for domestic and foreign scientists to publicise their studies on the country, thus boosting exchanges between readers and researchers and developing Vietnamese studies around the world.
The VNU-Hanoi will also speed up the building of a big archives centre specialising on Vietnamese studies in the suburb of Hanoi, he said.
He added there are a large number of materials and documents about Vietnam around the world. They need to be collected and kept in one centre to serve comprehensive research on Vietnam.
Suggestions at the event will be submitted to relevant ministries and agencies for reference in their making of plans and policies for national development.
The Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences will be the host of the sixth international conference on Vietnamese studies in 2020.
