Speaking at the ceremony, Dr. Nguyen Hung Son, Deputy Director of the Diplomatic Academy, said that 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of Professor Vu Duong Huan's entry into the diplomatic service.
Throughout his more than half-century career, he has held many different positions and worked in various locations, but the Diplomatic Academy is where he has been most closely associated, through research, training, and as the Academy's Director and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of International Studies.
Even after retirement, he remains actively involved in research advisory and teaching roles at the Academy.
