Deputy PM Vu Duc Dam pays Tet visit to French physicist and artists
Deputy Prime Minister (PM) Vu Duc Dam paid a visit to the French physicist Pierre Darriulat, writer Ma Van Khang, actor Thanh Loan and choreographer Chu Thuy Quynh on January 26 on the occasion of the traditional Lunar New Year (Tet).
Professor Darriulat and his wife, who are now living in Hanoi, were delighted to be called on by Deputy PM Dam.
Professor Pierre Darriulat was the former research director at the European Organisation for Nuclear Research (CERN) and at present is professor of physics at VATLY, an astrophysics lab at the Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology.
Talking with Deputy PM, Professor Darriulat recalled a meeting with General Vo Nguyen Giap 15 years earlier who stressed the need for a revolution in higher education in Vietnam.
According to the physics professor, Vietnam must always look ahead as if we always look at the past and at the current difficulties, it is difficult to effectively reform education.
The Deputy PM said higher education reform in Vietnam is advancing towards giving autonomy to universities and educational reform would be fostered further in the coming time.
Paying pre-Tet visit to actress Thanh Loan, famous for her role as the nun Huyen Trang in the film Biet dong Sai Gon, Deputy PM Dam exchanged his views on a number of issues facing Vietnamese cinema, including the lack of good screenplays and professional actors.
At the talk with writer Ma Van Khang and choreographer Chu Thuy Quynh, Deputy PM Dam stated that Vietnam’s fine traditions are being threatened by social ills and egocentric ways of life.
The Deputy PM stressed the importance on the older generations passing on their experience to the younger people so that Vietnamese culture would be modernised and deeply intergrated while still remaining the national quintessence and attractive to the current generation.
