the most prestigious global award for mathematical achievement.
Triet said he highly values Chau’s achievements and his contributions to mathematics, thus bringing honour to the nation.
He said that Chau’s prize reflects on mathematics in Vietnam and

“I believe that with great potentials and strong will along with
dedicated guidance of excellent processors like Chau, more young
