At the meeting, the school's leadership presented an overview of its operations, training activities, and future development directions.

In his remarks at the conference, Deputy Minister Nguyen Quoc Tri acknowledged and highly appreciated the school's thoughtful and sincere reception. Through the reports, the Deputy Minister expressed his admiration for the school's long-standing tradition, particularly its strengths in the field of fisheries training. He commended the school for maintaining a team of highly qualified staff and lecturers, and for its practical contributions to society.

Besides the achievements, the Deputy Minister also frankly pointed out the key tasks that the school needs to urgently implement to achieve breakthroughs in the coming period:
Firstly, regarding development strategy and autonomy: The Deputy Minister emphasized that the school's existence and development depend entirely on the self-effort of its staff and lecturers. The school needs to develop a systematic and comprehensive long-term planning roadmap, aiming to increase its autonomy from 51% to 65%.

Secondly, regarding training and enrollment: The Deputy Minister noted that, in the context of the increasing development of artificial intelligence (AI), practical engineering fields are proving their enduring value and are difficult to replace, opening up great opportunities to attract students to pursue technical careers. Therefore, the school needs to identify enrollment as a core, vital task. Simultaneously, training programs need to be continuously updated to closely follow the practical needs of businesses; increase the duration of practical training and internships, and especially focus on monitoring and gathering feedback from graduates.

Thirdly, regarding human resource development and scientific research: To elevate its standing, the School needs to continue improving the quality of its staff, encouraging and creating conditions to increase the number of PhDs, especially those trained abroad. Scientific research and technology application activities also need more appropriate investment.

Concluding the meeting, the Deputy Minister requested that departments and divisions under the Ministry continue to closely coordinate, guide, and support the School in overcoming difficulties. The Deputy Minister also offered words of encouragement to all staff and teachers of the School, hoping that each individual will maintain exemplary pedagogical conduct, enhance their sense of responsibility, and work together to build the College of Economics, Technology and Fisheries into an increasingly strong and prosperous institution.
