Therefore, cooperation between UTS and Vietnamese universities is very important to achieve this goal. In the context of Vietnam and Australia upgrading their relationship to Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, the Deputy Minister suggested that UTS research and expand the scale of cooperation in other fields to match the bilateral relationship.

Mr. Iain Watt assessed that the Vietnamese Government's needs and priorities for developing the semiconductor industry are very suitable for the university's operations. UTS will continue to implement training programs, student exchanges, research cooperation and scholarships for Vietnamese students, making education continue to become a bridge and a pillar in the comprehensive strategic partnership between Vietnam and Australia./.
