Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc praised the significant achievements DTU has made over the years. He said: “I am very happy to be here for the 32nd anniversary of Vietnamese Teacher’s Day and to hand you the Second Class Labor Medal awarded by the State. DTU has grown tremendously for the past 20 years and accomplished many remarkable feats. Not only offering many new disciplines, DTU has also paid attention to the construction of facilities with modern classrooms and labs. DTU realized a lot in the renovation of education by boosting scientific research and by collaborating with well-known universities worldwide to train a highly-skilled workforce for the job market. Its collaboration with the business sector to create internship and employment opportunities for its students is really remarkable. This is the most efficient way to build an appropriate educational program so that graduates would meet the always increasing demands of society.”

Having followed, oriented, and supported DTU, Prof. MSc Bui Van Ga, Deputy Minister of Education and Training said: “The Ministry of Education and Training values the achievements and the effective renovation of DTU highly. As one of a few universities the Ministry entrusted with the formation of PhDs, DTU confirmed its reputation. For the past few years, many universities had difficulties in student enrollment, but DTU met its criteria. The many DTU graduates with employment drew more candidate students to choose DTU as the very place for their studies. The decision to develop international collaboration and scientific research is an intensive investment aimed at sustainable development in the future. I believe DTU will develop even more strongly and become one of the most prestigious universities of the entire country.”
Joyful at the State President awarding the Second Class Labor Medal, Distinguised Teacher Le Cong Co, DTU President and Provost, said: “DTU is honored and pleased to welcome Deputy Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc visiting our university and giving us some close and heartfelt guidance. DTU accepts the advice, which we are determined to make reality the coming years. Through strength, intelligence, love, and ambition, DTU is gradually turning into a strong and high-quality university. Its strong development has affirmed the private model the Party and State appropriately implemented. With inner strength and passion from all lecturers, DTU will focus on investing in infrastructure, continue its international collaboration, improve the quality of its lecturers to form highly-qualified graduates, and to contribute to the building of a strong Vietnam.”
Most recently at its 20th anniversary, DTU had the honor to receive an Emulation Banner from the Ministry of Education and Training for the academic year 2013-2014. This pleasure is now double with the honor of the Second Class Labor Medal awarded by the State President. The trust and recognition of the Party and State, of Ministries and Departments, is at the same time the pride of DTU and a great responsibility for the university to put even more effort in that Vietnamese students would acquire the necessary skills for global integration.
