Quoting Albert Einstein: “The law of attraction is not responsible for people falling in love.” The President said that Vietnam is still a country with many difficulties, the conditions for attracting and appealing may not be equal to those of developed countries, but scientists are still enthusiastic about coming to Vietnam, because of unconditional love and affection, very sincere and natural. The attraction of Vietnam probably comes from its culture, from its smiles, from its optimism, from its hospitality, from its eagerness to learn, and from its passionate patriotic people who value lasting values.
The President hopes that in the coming time, Vietnam will continue to receive cooperation and support from international scientists, Vietnamese scientists abroad, and overseas scientists.

In particular, it is necessary to promote potentials and build networks to gather Vietnamese scientists living abroad to contribute to the country, to the country's science and education, so that Vietnam can increasingly integrate more deeply with the world in all aspects, enhance the position and prestige of Vietnam, and together build a prosperous and sustainably developed Vietnam on the foundation of quality science and education.
