Norwegian Ambassador to Vietnam Stein Iversen highlighted the evolution of cooperation between Norway and Nha Trang University (NTU), noting that the relationship has matured significantly over the past 28 years. What began as development and educational assistance has transformed into a comprehensive partnership spanning knowledge exchange, technology transfer, sustainable aquaculture practices and commercial opportunities.
The deepening ties between the Nordic nation and the Khanh Hoa-based institution reflect broader momentum in Vietnam-Norway relations. Both countries are increasingly focused on addressing shared challenges in marine resource management and environmental sustainability, with particular emphasis on developing responsible aquaculture sectors.
The expanded cooperation framework positions NTU as a key player in Vietnam's efforts to harness Nordic expertise in sustainable marine industries. Technology and knowledge-sharing initiatives are expected to strengthen Vietnam's capacity in blue economy sectors while supporting the country's green transition objectives.
The partnership underscores Norway's continued commitment to supporting Vietnam's development priorities, particularly in coastal and maritime sectors where the Southeast Asian nation holds significant potential for sustainable growth.
