A delegation comprising Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son, Vice Chairman, People's Committee of Can Tho City; Mr. Le Phu Hao, Vice Director, Department of Home Affairs; Mrs. Tran Thi Thanh Binh, Rector, Can Tho University of Technology; Colonel Ha Nghia Lo, Director, Department of Police; and Lieutenant Colonel Vo Thi Nhu Tuyet, Vice Head, Administrative Management & Social Order, Department of Police visited AIT during 26-29 September 2007.
The purpose of their visit was to explore areas in which there could be collaborations between AIT and the Department of Home Affairs-Can Tho City (DoHA-CT), in particular for the capacity building of their officials under the 'Project 150'. DoHA-CT is keen on funding some of their officials to further their studies at AIT. An official MoU signing ceremony was held on 26 September 2007, and the expectation is that collaborations between AIT and DoHA will be further expanded in the future.
Dr. Fredric Swierczek, Director, AIT Center in Vietnam, and the School of Engineering and Technology (SET) team, led by Professor Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai, Dean, SET, were instrumental in bringing this important delegation to AIT and initiating this new partnership.
