As Ambassador of Poland, I am honored that Hanoi has a school named after Polish-Vietnamese Friendship, as it is rare and unique sign of special, traditional and deep relations between two countries”
Principal Ngo Thi Mai Huong thanked and said: “The Polish Government has been generous to the school especially over the two last years. To date, we have received a total of 30 monitors and 10 computer sets - which are very useful for improving the quality of teaching and learning methods. Our school was established 60 years ago. Almost from the start it launched a partnership with a school in Poland and since then, the school has always been named Vietnamese-Polish Friendship School. It is a great honor for the school to hold such name”.
