In his opening speech, Assoc.Prof.PhD. Nguyen Hong Son said that nowadays women play an important role in Vietnam’s economic development. However, most of them have been facing many challenges due to the limitations of knowledge and skills to start a business, especially in the changing context of society today. Hence, the Rector hoped that with the differences compared to other international projects on about Vietnamese women in development, the training course would actively contribute to their business. At the same time, Assoc.Prof.PhD. Nguyen Hong Son also expressed his belief in the learners, who would positively participate in the development of women's movement in Vietnam.
