"Becoming the Director of the National Economics University is a great honor and at the same time a challenging responsibility that I will have to strive to fulfill with all my intelligence, enthusiasm and spirit of service to respond to the trust of the leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training; as well as the love and trust that generations of leaders and the school's teaching staff have placed in me," said Associate Professor Bui Huy Nhuong.
