In 2014, he was awarded the Order of the Rising Sun, Gold Rays with Neck Ribbon of Japan in recognition of his achievements.

Vice President Tsubota and Dr. Nghiem Vu Khai expressed their wishes to further promote friendly relations between Japan and Vietnam and also confirmed their agreement on the importance of mutual cooperation between OMU and Vietnamese research institutions. Also present at the meeting from the Graduate School of Science were Professor Keiji Shinoda and Professor Venkatesh Raghavan; a former classmate at Osaka City University who is currently collaborating with Dr. Nghiem Vu Khai. They highlighted the difference in foreign student conditions today as compared to back then.
