At the seminar, Professor Mai Ngoc Chu, President of the Korean Studies Association in Vietnam, shared information: In 1992, Vietnam and Korea officially established diplomatic relations, opening a period of rapid development and achieving many successes in bilateral relations. Korean government and non-governmental organizations have actively supported the development of Korean studies and Korean language education in Vietnam, including the Korean Embassy, ​​KF, Koica, and others.

Over the past 25 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries, numerous seminars on Korea have been held and many journals on Korea have been published in Vietnam. Korean studies in Vietnam have also seen rapid development with the emergence of many training and research institutions nationwide. Following this trend, this experience-sharing exchange program, part of the Korea Foundation's KF Networking 2019 series, focuses primarily on sharing experiences in teaching the Korean language, a fundamental area supporting other research on Korea.

Mr. Woo Huyn-min (Chief Representative of the Korea Foundation - KF) stated: Vietnam and Korea have long established diplomatic relations and have jointly organized many events related to Korea. Previously, seminars, forums, and workshops mainly focused on Korean studies in specific fields. This event, organized by the Faculty of Oriental Studies, University of Social Sciences and Humanities, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, has a different meaning as it aims to facilitate the exchange and sharing of experiences in teaching Korean among lecturers in Vietnam. Korean language lecturers will have the opportunity to interact and learn from colleagues from other universities. It is hoped that experienced Korean language teachers will share their valuable experiences, and that young lecturers will be open-minded and actively adopt new teaching methods, learning from their predecessors to improve their own teaching methods.

The exchange focused on the following topics: how to improve Korean language teaching skills and suggestions for overcoming difficulties in teaching and developing the Korean language in Vietnam.
