Australia’s Senate President Sue Lines visits Temple of Literature

The senator was introduced with the history of the country’s first university which was built in the 11th century and Vietnam’s quintessence of education.

Australian President of Senate Sue Lines visited the Temple of Literature – the national special historical relic – shortly after she arrived in Hanoi for a week-long visit starting on August 24 at the invitation of Vietnamese Chairman of National Assembly Tran Thanh Man.

At Vietnam’s first university, which was built in 1070, the delegation, led by Australian Senate President Sue Lines, was briefed on the history of the establishment and growth of Vietnam’s first university. This location is emblematic of the country’s study culture and represents the convergence of learning from the Dai Viet and modern Vietnam.

President Sue Lines of the Australian Senate led a delegation to see historic buildings like the Dai Trung Gate, Khue Van Cac, Dai Thanh Palace, the doctoral stele garden, and the eternal teacher Chu Van An. They learned about the location that honors and preserves Confucianism and best exemplifies the exceptional values of Vietnamese culture.
