Vietnam, and to the development of the friendship between
the two countries.
The conferment was made by Ambassador Extraordinary

on behalf of his president’s office, on July 7.
The Friendship Order is Vietnam’s highest award
in the area of international relations and TP is the
first polytechnic in Singapore to receive this. TP has
provided training to the Vietnamese in the areas of
human resource and management, education, hospitality
and tourism, information technology and English language
and communication.
The award was presented at the “Celebrate! Global
Community @ TP” — a two-day event from July
6 to 7, held as part of TP’s continuous effort
to promote global experiences and develop global awareness
amongst its staff and students. Activities held included
student presentations on their overseas internships,
community projects and study trips, as well as cultural
showcases by TP’s international students.
