In a busy working schedule, the delegation still took time to visit and work with the University. With the strength of being the leading university in the country in training and scientific research in the field of Social Sciences and Humanities, and being one of the key universities of the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is ready to welcome and cooperate with universities in the region and the world. Vice President Dao Thanh Truong emphasized the hope that there will be effective cooperation between the two universities in many activities: exchange of lecturers, postgraduates, students; organizing seminars on cultural and historical issues of Vietnam and Korea; publishing documents for research and teaching,... At the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, the Korean Studies Department is the leading training and research unit specializing in Korean Studies in the country, attracting a large number of students and trainees from undergraduate to doctoral levels every year. Therefore, close and effective cooperation not only creates conditions to promote the strengths of the two units, creating conditions for students and trainees to have opportunities to study and exchange academically abroad, but also helps develop Korean Studies in Vietnam, expanding cultural exchange between the two countries.
