Comrade Nguyen Van Kim (Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Deputy Principal of the School) delivered a speech at the conference.
Comrade Nguyen Van Kim emphasized that the Faculty of Oriental Studies of the University is one of the faculties that consistently has one of the highest entrance exam scores for regular programs. However, this year, with the new admission method of the Ministry of Education and Training, maintaining this achievement will pose a challenge for the Faculty's Party Committee in the new term.
At the same time, the upcoming period is also the time when VNU will implement the plan to bring the Vietnam-Japan University into operation, which will have a significant impact not only on the faculty's overall enrollment activities but also on the training work of the Japanese Studies department.
Given these challenging realities, the Deputy Secretary of the School's Party Committee instructed the Party Branch of the Faculty of Oriental Studies to identify key objectives for the coming period, along with practical and effective solutions, avoiding a scattered approach where goals are outlined but not implemented.
"In all aspects of its development, political and ideological work must always play a crucial role, leading the way in all activities. Party members in the branch must be role models, with positive and pioneering actions for other members of the department to strive for and emulate," Comrade Nguyen Van Kim instructed.
Comrade Nguyen Van Kim (Deputy Secretary of the Party Committee, Deputy Principal of the School) presented flowers to congratulate the new Party Committee for the 2015-2017 term.
