According to the program, following the activities in Ottawa, the delegation will travel to Vancouver (Canada) to explore retail distribution systems, assess market demand for agricultural products, and engage with regulatory agencies and technology training institutions. This presents an important opportunity to strengthen the linkage between education, research, and international market practices.
The working program will then continue in Mexico, including meetings with the Ministry of Agriculture of Mexico, agricultural business associations, and field visits. The discussions will focus on promoting agri-food trade, developing value chains, applying technology, and expanding cooperation in education and research between institutions and organizations of the two countries.
The participation of the President of Thuyloi University in this mission not only contributes to strengthening international cooperation in agriculture and environmental sectors but also opens up new opportunities for collaboration in education, scientific research, and technology transfer, thereby enhancing the University’s position and international integration in the coming years.
