HA NOI (Bizhub) – The Bank for International Development of Viet Nam (BIDV) and the National Economics University (NEU) on Wednesday signed a co-operation agreement for the 2015-19 period.

Under the agreement, the two institutions will co-operate in carrying out research projects, technology development, organising specialised conferences, dialogues and short-term training activities for BIDV staff, and in providing banking services.

The university will provide training to BIDV staff, while the bank will send banking experts to work as lecturers at a number of training programmes of the university to help improve the quality of training.
