Meeting with Guangxi University (China)

Mr. Tang Pingqiu was grateful for the reception of USSH and said the visit of Guangxi University aimed to renew the MOU in 2007, which promotes cooperation between the two sides and discuss the potential establishment of a Confucius Institute at the University in the near future. He said the two sides have great potential for cooperation for three reasons: first is the close geographical distance between Nanning and Vietnam, making it convenient for both sides to visit each other; second is that Guangxi University has many units studying and teaching social sciences and humanities; and third is in Nanning there are frequent ASEAN exhibitions, enabling local people to better understand the ASEAN countries including Vietnam.

Assoc.Prof.Dr. Pham Quang Minh welcomed and shared the proposals of Tang Pingqiu and said the two sides shared more cooperation in the past, but had yet to make full use of the mentioned advantages. He proposed further cooperation in the future, especially in organizing a workshop with the participation of professors from Guangxi University at the beginning of 2016.
