As the most prestigious university of Brunei, UBD ranked third regionally and officially formed partnership with Vietnam’s FPT University in July 2013, mostly in English training. It recently added Vietnamese into its curricula, apart from other foreign languages such as English, French, German, Japanese and Korean.
Talking with students majoring in Vietnamese language, Prime Minister Chinh wished that the contingent of Vietnamese teachers in the university would grow in number while Vietnamese class students would soon become fluent in using this language, becoming messengers of friendship and cooperation between the two nations.
