     Nguyen and Shillabeer discusses that Vietnam focused on western education and transitioned into transnational education (637). Vietnam was able to accomplish its goals through  government regulations toward  transnational regulations and transitional education provided opportunities for the people. Furthermore, Nguyen and Shilabeer emphasizes that Vietnam invested in local education and was involved in international projects (639). Vietnam wanted its citizens to be involved in higher and international education and this has been a goal for the  Vietnamese government as the country wants to prepare its citizens for the real world. Vietnam wants to focus on globalization and maintain a sustainable economy. Pincus also states that Vietnam focuses on education reform (26). The country provides opportunities to all citizens and focuses on accessible education as this can affect the literacy rate and country’s development I believe Vietnam was able to remake itself as its industry and government focused on bringing  exports which led to a growing economy. In addition, Pincus emphasizes that technology brought growth to the economy. Vietnam focused on its development through industry and government working together to improve the country. I believe Vietnam can achieve further national aesthetics as becoming less dependent on other countries for determining its exports and reduce trade deficits with China. Vietnam needs to focus on building its economy and development. As for my own nation branding framework, I believe that education and literacy rate is an important component in branding. Education and literacy rate defines a nation and relates to a country’s achievement and developments. As the education and literacy rate improves, this can lead to more brands and achievements from the country and the country is more representative to the people. In other words, increasing education and literacy rates provides more opportunities for the people and country.

In addition, Taylor’s University discusses that Malaysia focuses on transnational education and more on British education in the country and even partners  with the UK and Malaysian institutions are venturing overseas (2) Like Vietnam, Malaysia is involved in transnational education and globalization as it provides the best for the country and more opportunities for its citizens.

Question: How can we ensure that countries will work together in order to promote international cooperation?
