As President of the SEAMEO Council, Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah plays an important role in promoting cooperation among SEAMEO member countries, including through courtesy calls on council members and official visits to SEAMEO Regional Centres and Networks.

The programme in Ho Chi Minh City began with a visit to the SEAMEO Regional Training Centre (RETRAC), where Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah was briefed on the centre’s work in educational leadership and management, teacher professional development, research and training, which strengthens educational capacity across Southeast Asia. This was followed by a briefing from the SEAMEO Regional Centre for Lifelong Learning (CELLL) on its efforts to promote lifelong learning through research, training, policy development and regional cooperation, with an emphasis on expanding inclusive learning opportunities for people at all stages of life.

Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah also visited the Binh Chanh Inclusive Education Development Support Center to learn about its background, achievements, educational programmes, and teaching and learning practices.

The visit continued in Hanoi, where Datin Seri Setia Dr Hajah Romaizah paid a courtesy call on Minister of Education and Training of Vietnam Associate Professor Dr Hoang Minh Son. They discussed bilateral cooperation and ways to further strengthen educational ties between Brunei Darussalam and Vietnam. Dr Hoang Minh Son congratulated the Ministry of Education of Brunei Darussalam on its excellent PISA 2025 results, which showed improvement in all three domains and placed Brunei among the top three Southeast Asian countries participating in PISA. He also expressed his wish to enhance collaboration, particularly by reactivating the Joint Working Group between the two ministries to develop joint initiatives, share knowledge and best practices, and learn from each other’s experiences.
