The event was jointly organized by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Education and Training, Vietnam National University, and Tsinghua University of China.

Those in attendance included Nguyen Xuan Thang, Politburo member, Chairman of the Central Theoretical Council, and Director of the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics, along with senior Party and State officials, representatives from ministries, localities, the State Professorship Council, and several universities.

In his speech, Prof. Dr. Qiu Yong, member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC), Secretary of the CPC Tsinghua University Committee, and Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences praised Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh as an internationally influential leader. Since assuming office, he has guided the Vietnamese Government in implementing the Resolution of the 13th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, focusing on macroeconomic stability, inflation control, growth promotion, and maintaining key economic balances. These efforts have yielded remarkable achievements in socio-economic development and improving people’s livelihoods.

Under the guidance of Chinese Premier Li Qiang and Vietnamese Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh, ministries and local authorities of both countries have worked closely to carry out high-level agreements, deepening the Vietnam-China Community with a shared future and delivering substantive results.

Professor Qiu Yong noted that after careful consideration, and in recognition of the Prime Minister’s achievements in economic development and his contributions to China-Vietnam cooperation, Tsinghua University decided to confer upon him the prestigious Honorary Professor title.

Expressing his gratitude, PM Chinh described the title as an honor, not just for himself but also as a testament to the Vietnamese Party and State’s dedication to national renewal and socialist construction. He emphasized that Vietnam’s development model is built upon Marxism-Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, and the nation’s 4,000-year cultural heritage, adapted creatively to Vietnam’s specific conditions and the evolving global landscape. This approach has driven Vietnam’s sustained socio-economic progress.

The Vietnamese Government chief also noted that the title reflects China’s recognition of Vietnam’s efforts in promoting bilateral ties, affirming the traditional Vietnam-China friendship, rooted in the spirit of being both comrades and brothers.

He expressed deep appreciation to the Vietnamese Party, State, and key leaders over the years, including Party General Secretary To Lam, for their support in his academic and professional journey, enabling him to serve the nation and its people.

PM Chinh reaffirmed Vietnam’s commitment to working closely with China to enhance the Comprehensive Strategic Cooperative Partnership and advance the Vietnam-China Community with a Shared Future in a stable, healthy, and sustainable manner.

He stressed that these efforts will bring practical benefits to the people of both countries and contribute to regional peace and stability.
