As Vint Cerf concludes his remarkable career at Google, his lifelong contributions continue to inspire people and institutions around the world.
In Vietnam, Nguyen Viet Hung, Chairman of the People’s Committee of Khanh Hoa Province—the equivalent of a U.S. Governor—has sent a formal letter expressing profound respect and gratitude for Vint Cerf’s historic contributions to humanity. The letter commemorates the 30th anniversary of VietNet, Vietnam’s first public Internet network, established in Nha Trang in 1996 using the TCP/IP protocol co-created by Vint Cerf and Robert Kahn. It also warmly invites him to visit Khanh Hoa, where his pioneering legacy continues to inspire a new generation of digital innovation and AI-driven development.
The Boston Global Forum is honored to share this meaningful letter in tribute to one of the founding architects of the Internet, a recipient of the World Leader in AIWS Award (2019), and a Founding Signatory of the Boston Declaration on the Primacy of the Human Person in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
