On the evening of October 14, the French Ambassador to Vietnam, Olivier Brochet, presented the Order of Academic Palms to Professor Dr Nguyen Huu Tu on behalf of the French Government.

Olivier Brochet highly appreciated Tu’s contributions to connecting and building cooperation exchange programmes, training linkages, and student and lecturer exchanges with long-standing educational institutions in France, such as Sorbonne University, Montpellier Medical University, Aix Marseille Medical University, and others.

Over the past 15 years, Professor Tu and lecturers and students of Hanoi Medical University have developed many activities, creating a solid foundation for cooperation and comprehensive medicine development between Vietnam and France.

Every year, about 200-300 French and Vietnamese students participate in short-term exchange programmes, and more than 30 French lecturers have been awarded the title of Honourary Professor by Hanoi Medical University.
