And Vietnam will win!” Lee Kuan Yew Senior Minister, Singapore Hanoi, Vietnam April 17, 2009 “ I was aware of the importance of educational exchanges between the United States and Vietnam, and in my Confirmation Hearing in July 2007, I called for the number of Vietnamese students at American institutions to double during my tenure…I just received confirmation that there are now more than twice as many Vietnamese students in the U.S. as there were before I arrived in Hanoi a year and a half ago.” Michael Michalak US Ambassador to Vietnam Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam April 24, 2009 “ The reasons we invest $600M in an ATM factory here in Vietnam are evident to all of those who look around a very vibrant population, a very young population, and increasingly strengthened education system.” Craig Barrett Chairman, Intel Corporation Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam March 1, 2006
