In response, Mr. Noel Servigon thanked the USSH for its warm welcome. He said that the Philippine Embassy in Vietnam is always ready to support the University in connecting with Philippine universities, organizing joint seminars and workshops, sending lecturers and scholars from Philippine universities to attend courses organized by the University, as well as launching short-term courses on Southeast Asian studies, focusing on hot issues such as the East Sea dispute and the lives of fishing communities in coastal countries, relations between countries in the ASEAN community, etc.
