On the occasion of ending his term of office, Tom Y.F Huang, Head of the Economic Division, Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in HCMC, met with Dr. Tran Dinh Lam, Director of the Center for Vietnamese and Southeast Asian Studies, on January 27.
Participants at the meeting also included Tran Bach Tu, Chairman of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in HCMC and Dr. Phan Thi Hong Xuan, Vice Dean of the Faculty of Anthropology, HCMC USSH.
According to Tran Bach Tu, Taiwan is now the second largest investor in Vietnam. This offers Vietnam a good opportunity to prepare human resources for its industrialization and development.

In fact, Korea, Singapore and Taiwan have successfully built up their countries by their own human resources. They have carefully prepared education, training and an effective mechanism for competitiveness. Tu believed that Vietnam can be well developed if it boosts more investment in the human element to meet the trend towards globalization.
With the hope for a better developed Vietnam, he brought up the symbol of a bunch of chopsticks in the context of cooperating with the Southeast Asian countries. It is necessary for the Southeast Asian community to establish a common voice in their negotiation, which will form a basis for co-prosperity. Individualism and narrow-mindedness will negatively affect the development model, making the community lose its opportunity for international integration.
Huang has had a long relationship with exchanging programs between Vietnamese scholars and Taiwanese ones. He will return Taiwan to work for its Ministry of Foreign Affairs, hoping to have more contributions to Vietnam – Taiwan relations. He also added that Vietnam needs to perfect its legal environment for development, create an unprejudiced society with fair competitiveness and avoid unscientific approaches which are more based on feeling rather than reasoning and benefit a single group only.
