The cooperation focuses on training, scientific research, policy consultancy, and knowledge transfer in the fields of finance and economics. This collaboration aims to strengthen the linkage between academic theory and practical application, thereby supporting the establishment and development of the International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City in line with international standards and best practices.

This cooperation initiative is expected to expand the academic and research ecosystem, enhance the quality of human resources, and promote innovation. In doing so, it helps strengthen the knowledge foundation essential to the sustainable formation and long-term development of the Vietnam International Financial Centre in Ho Chi Minh City.
