Faculty, staff, and students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities receive full scholarships from the Chinese Government.

Attending the ceremony, on behalf of the Chinese Embassy in Vietnam were Mr. Peng Shiduan (Cultural Counselor), Mr. Zheng Dawei (Education Counselor), and Mr. Wang Dingguan (First Secretary).

Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong (Vice Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities) attended this event on behalf of the University's Board of Directors.

In his speech, Mr. Peng Shiduan stated that over the past two years, despite the COVID-19 pandemic raging in China, Vietnam, and other countries worldwide, causing severe consequences in many areas, education has also been greatly affected. However, the education authorities of China and Vietnam have maintained regular exchanges and worked together to help Vietnamese students in China continue their studies. In 2020 and 2021, more than 12,000 Vietnamese students completed their studies at Chinese universities despite the difficulties. Currently, based on the reasonable prevention and control of COVID-19, Chinese authorities are now facilitating the return of more Vietnamese students to China for more effective learning.

Associate Professor Dr. Dang Thi Thu Huong expressed her sincere and profound gratitude to the Government of the People's Republic of China, through its Embassy, ​​for awarding nearly 100 scholarships to faculty, staff, and students of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities over the past 10 years. These scholarship recipients, after studying at Chinese universities, have all returned to their home countries, making very practical contributions to the development of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities, to the development of Vietnam in general, and further strengthening the friendly relationship between the two nations. The University hopes that the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training and the Chinese Embassy will continue to support, assist, and provide more scholarships for Vietnamese students to study in China, and create opportunities for more Chinese students to study in Vietnam. Vice Rector Dang Thi Thu Huong also extended her best wishes to the staff, lecturers, and students receiving scholarships to study in China, hoping they will continue to spread the friendly and warm image and culture of Vietnamese people in China.

Also at the ceremony, the Education Counselor, Mr. Trinh Dai Vi, extended his congratulations to the students who received scholarships today, wishing them success in their studies and encouraging them to actively participate in cultural exchange activities between China and Vietnam, thereby promoting friendly relations and cooperation between the two countries.

Representatives of the Vietnamese scholarship recipients expressed their deep gratitude for the attention of the Chinese Government, the Chinese Embassy, ​​the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training, and the Board of Directors of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for creating opportunities for young staff and students to exchange ideas, study, and improve their professional skills at leading universities in China. They also affirmed that it was an honor to receive the scholarship from the Chinese Government and that they would cherish this opportunity to study and work diligently and seriously to improve their professional skills; as well as actively participate in activities to contribute to strengthening cooperative relations between the University of Social Sciences and Humanities and the universities where they study, in particular, and Vietnam-China exchange relations in general.

At the end of the ceremony, both sides exchanged commemorative gifts and took commemorative photos with the faculty and students who received scholarships.
