Elevating the cooperative relationship between VNU-USSH and leading universities in China.

At the headquarters of the Chinese Ministry of Education in Beijing, Minister Nguyen Kim Son and his delegation held talks with Chinese Minister of Education Huai Jinbang. During the meeting, both sides assessed that, 15 years after the establishment of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, Vietnam-China relations have developed to a new level, with significant achievements in all areas of cooperation. In particular, cooperation in education and training has been substantial, increasingly in-depth, and yielded outstanding results based on the strategic direction of the leaders of both countries in this field. Later that afternoon, a Vietnam-China higher education cooperation seminar was held at Peking University, attended by leaders from both Ministries of Education, relevant departments and bureaus, and many leading universities from both countries. On this occasion, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (VNU Hanoi) signed cooperation agreements with Peking University and Beijing Foreign Studies University regarding training and research in social sciences and humanities, faculty and student exchange, and enhanced cooperation in Chinese and Vietnamese language training. For the 2024-2025 academic year, both Peking University and Beijing Foreign Studies University are sending Vietnamese language students to study at the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, VNU Hanoi.   Peking University is China's leading university and ranks 17th in the world according to the QS Rankings 2024. Its Vietnamese language program, part of the Foreign Language Institute, began offering undergraduate programs in 1949, making it the first university in China to offer a Vietnamese language major.
