Jean Paul de Gaudemar, director general of the AUF, said the association has been present in Vietnam for long and has gained plenty of experience in collaborating with Vietnamese universities.

However, in order to work together in such macro issues as development strategy, university administration, and training quality improvement, it is necessary to partner with State management agencies, he said.
