They focused discussions on digital sources, and how to develop the digital system to increase the quality of teaching in tertiary education.

They also agreed to intensify information sharing and the use of digital academic materials at higher education facilities through the establishment of a Francophone e-portal.

On June 8, the Vietnamese official held talks with Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, French Minister of Education, Higher Education and Research, during which they discussed and agreed on several measures to foster bilateral ties in education and training, particularly scholarship provision, and Vietnamese-language teaching for overseas Vietnamese in France.
