I am NGUYEN Thanh Binh, Vietnamese permanent correspondent, based in Italy. Currently, I am the Head of the Representative Office of the Vietnam National News Agency (VNA) in Rome. The work of a journalist requires me to study continuously in the context of rapidly changing political and economic situations at the regional and international level. I am very proud of being a member of the “Master in Development Economics and International Cooperation” course (MESCI). The course will allow me to deepen, and at the same time, to update my knowledge on economic development and international cooperation. I have a Diploma of Universitarian general studies (1996) and a Bachelor of Science degree in English (1998), with 20 years of work experience as a journalist in various positions at the VNA (such as Deputy Director of World News Department of VNA) as well as abroad (Correspondent in Indonesia from 2003 to 2006, Head of the Representative Office of VNA in Rome from 2010 to 2013 and from 2016 to 2020). I believe that Mesci will help me to open a new chapter in my life. Thank you so much MESCI.
