The deputy PM made the remark at the inaugural ceremony of the V-KIST in Ha Noi on November 21.
He stated that the establishment of V-KIST demonstrates the urgent need for the strong renovation of the management and governance mechanisms, as well as the working methods, in research work in Viet Nam, which is aimed at promptly bringing science and technology achievements into reality to meet the renewal demand.
The V-KIST is a nonrefundable aid project from the Republic of Korea for Viet Nam, aiming to accelerate the science and technology partnership between the two countries, whilst meeting the development needs of Viet Nam.
