Almost 100 university senior officials from Asia-Pacific region met in Thua Thien-Hue province, Vietnam, on December 3 to promote French language training in the region. 

The French-speaking university summit was co-sponsored by the Association of French-speaking Universities (AUF) and Hue University as a curtain raiser for a series of activities celebrating the AUF’s 50th founding anniversary early next year. 

Prof. Michael Ferrier from Chuo University of Japan recommended a diversity of languages in tertiary education with a focus on French as “a door open to the world” for university students. 

Numerous initiatives were raised at the meeting to strengthen alliance among member universities such as holding annual meetings for leaders of member universities, increasing projects in support of tertiary education, providing consultancy for major projects, exchange of experiences among members and seeking partners. 

Vietnam emphasized that need for strong commitments by members to young generations in order to provide fresh impetus for the bloc’s university system, scholarship programmes and IT training. 

It also pledged to diversify its language training programme in tertiary education while providing good conditions for students to study and improve French. 

The AUF was founded in 1961 and its worldwide network now consists of 759 universities and research centres in 90 countries.
