Before the signing of this strategic MOU, Academies Australasia and VNUA Center for Manpower Supply had organized a number of promotion sessions on study abroad opportunities for VNUA’s students in Australia and Singapore. Based on the demand as well as the meaning of the cooperation for students and lecturers, the Board of Directors of the VNUA Center for Manpower Supply has consulted VNUA's leaders on the strategic cooperation between the two parties, reaching the agreement to prioritize the promotion of cooperation in the exchange of agriculture-related training courses, especially agricultural vocational training courses, as well as training programs related to the content that both sides are developing such as tourism management, business management, and agronomy.

The Memorandum of Understanding focused on student and staff exchanges, agricultural specialist exchanges, academic exchanges as well as exchanges of research materials and publications, and the organization of international agriculture programs, conferences and seminars. Hopefully, this MOU will help better strengthen the cooperation not only in education but also in other aspects with the final outcome of enhancing education quality and research capacities of the two parties. In addition, Academies Australasia also sent an invitation to VNUA to participate in the International Conference on Agriculture held in Malaysia at the end of 2019, which would be a great opportunity to promote the university image and seek opportunities to cooperate with prestige organizations in the world in the field of agriculture.
