On 10 April 2026, a delegation from Victoria University of Wellington visited the Diplomatic Academy, continuing a partnership of more than 15 years. Alongside the official meeting, the delegation met students of the joint programme.
The Academy welcomed the delegation with Nguyen Thi Thin, Deputy Director; Ha Anh Tuan, Dean of International Politics and Diplomacy; Le Quang Hung, Head of International Cooperation; and Nguyen Minh Thu, in charge of the joint programme. Victoria University of Wellington was led by Amy Rutherford, Director of International Cooperation, with Djhoanna Lambert, Janine Huxford, Roger Armstrong and Dean Dinh.
Nguyen Thi Thin highlighted the long and effective partnership. After more than 15 years, cooperation has grown beyond the joint programme into a path for students to study in New Zealand.
The two sides discussed renewing the memorandum of understanding, student and lecturer exchange, and research, including postgraduate study and academic activities.
After the meeting, the delegation spoke with joint-programme students preparing to transfer, covering study and life in Wellington and support for international students.
Both sides agreed that the partnership of more than 15 years remains the base for wider cooperation in training, research and academic exchange.
