During the past two years, Ambassador Bolot has worked closely with the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, taking an active part in the implementation of educational cooperation programmes between Vietnam and France.

The French diplomat has authored initiatives to maintain and develop the French language in Vietnam, and has helped organise many seminars and training courses for French teachers in Vietnam.

Mr Bolot has also worked with the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training to carry out a number of projects to build French University centres at the Hanoi National University and the Ho Chi Minh City National University, to build a French-Vietnamese Management Education Center (CFVG), and to develop a high quality engineer training programme (PFIEV).

Addressing the presentation ceremony, Deputy Minister of Education and Training Pham Vu Luan said that Vietnam’s education sector warmly appreciates Ambassador Bolot’s contributions during his working term in Vietnam.

Mr Luan also expressed his hope that in the future, Vietnam and France will continue to strengthen friendship and cooperation, especially in the education and training sector.
