VSSMGE Congratulation to Vietnam Geotechnical Day

THE 30th ANNIVERSARY OF VSSMGE AND THE VIETNAMESE GEOTECHNICAL DAY CELEBRATION ON 18th JUNE 2010

Please accept our heartiest congratulations on the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of VSSMGE and the Vietnamese Geotechnical Day celebration on 18 June 2010.

The Association of Geotechnical Societies in Southeast Asia (AGSSEA) was inaugurated on 5 December 2007 to promote co-operation among geotechnical societies in Southeast Asia for the advancement of knowledge in geotechnical engineering. AGSSEA was initiated by the Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS) and VSSMGE was the first country member of AGGSEA. For this, I would like to say thank you to Prof. Tien.

The innovative engineers and the technical excellence in Vietnam that we are celebrating in this very special occasion emerged from the vision of a great leader. Even through difficult economic times, Prof. Tien found a way to plan and build a bright future for the Vietnamese geotechnical fraternity. His commitment to the goals of excellence is based on more than 30 years of progress supported by many dedicated people of VSSMGE who are determined to move forward.

AGSSEA is excited about the work of VSSMGE. We are excited about forming closer and closer partnership and co-operation with VSSMGE. We are committed to move forward to the next 30 years and beyond with VSSMGE. As they said “Getting something done is an accomplishment; getting something done right is an achievement”.

Once again, we extend our sincere congratulations to the achievement of VSSMGE and in particular to Prof. Tien for his invaluable contribution to the society.

Sincere best wishes,

Kenny Yee

Hon. Secretary-General, AGSSEA
