In his speech at the ceremony, reflecting on the proud and glorious history steeped in camaraderie between the two neighboring brotherly nations, Ambassador Hé Wěi expressed his wish for the students, “from a young age, to feel the friendship between the peoples of the two countries and recognize that the hearts of the two peoples are closely connected”.
The Ambassador also expressed his joy at seeing that, after decades of effort, the practical cooperation between the two countries is becoming increasingly robust, with many Chinese enterprises investing and doing business in the S-shaped country, bringing tangible benefits to local people.
Currently, trade turnover between Vietnam and China is very high, reaching 260 billion USD in 2024.
Notably, Ambassador He Wei hopes that when the high-speed railway connecting Vietnam and China is completed in the future, the scale of trade between the two countries will continue to soar.
“In the future, traveling, studying, working, or living in China will be even more convenient for you,” he emphasized.
Quoting two lines from poet Li Bai: “A great bird rises with the wind, soaring nine thousand miles high” (with great ambition and strong will, one will soar like an eagle), the Ambassador encouraged the students: “I hope you will take the honour of receiving this Ambassador Scholarship as an opportunity to study well, grow healthily, spread your wings high, and strive to become builders of Vietnam's socialist cause and successors of the Vietnam-China friendship.”

The scholarships awarded not only provide material support but also serve as motivation, encouraging the students to strive further in their learning and development journey.
