• Professor Nguyễn Trung Nhân – Member of the Executive Committee of the Party Organisation, Vice-President;

The strengthening of leadership teams across institutions takes place as higher education institutions nationwide implement the policy designating the Party Committee Secretary as the head of the educational institution, in accordance with Resolution No. 71-NQ/TW of the Politburo. This transition also aligns with new university governance regulations under the Higher Education Law 2025, ensuring stability, unity, and continuity in leadership, governance, and operational management.
