On December 2, 2024, Vietnam National University of Forestry (VNUF) organized a meeting to congratulate Lao students studying at the university on the occasion of the 49th National Day of the Lao People's Democratic Republic (December 2, 1975 – December 2, 2024).

Attending the meeting were: Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dien - President; Assoc. Prof. Dr. Phung Van Khoa, Vice President; and leaders of units under the university.

Looking back at history, on December 2, 1975, the National Congress of the Lao People issued a historic resolution to establish the Lao People's Democratic Republic. The founding of the Lao PDR marked the victorious culmination of the Lao people's struggle for national liberation, achieved under the outstanding and wise leadership of the Lao People's Revolutionary Party. This success heralded the most glorious chapter in Lao history and ushered the nation into a bright new era of development.

Speaking to congratulate the Lao students on the 49th anniversary of the National Day of the Lao PDR, Prof. Dr. Pham Van Dien, President of VNUF, expressed his delight at the development of Laos and the strong bond of solidarity between the two brotherly nations, Vietnam and Laos. He extended his best wishes to all Lao students, hoping that their studies and research at the university would yield the desired outcomes.

In the joyful and warm atmosphere of solidarity, many Lao students expressed their gratitude to the university's leadership, departments, staff, and lecturers for their continuous support and encouragement throughout their time studying and living at the university.

VNUF is like a home in my heart.

I don't think it would have been possible to integrate so quickly without the thoughtfulness of the lecturers and the enthusiastic hospitality of the students at the University. I love and cherish all the memories I had during my 6 months of exchange at VNUF. I'm sure I will come back here for future research or collaboration opportunities!

The first time I went abroad, I was fortunate to come to Vietnam, study at the Vietnam National University of Forestry and feel the affection and dedication of the university's staff and lecturers. Right from the airport to my first meal and class, the teachers took care of us as if we were their own children. They provide all the conditions for us to have the most fulfilling living and learning experiences. In Particular, we had the chance to learn new knowledge about forestry and forest resource management from Vietnam's leading experts and to have practical experiences in beautiful national parks.
