Meeting and working with Tsinghua University (China)

Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh (Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities) stated that the University of Social Sciences and Humanities is a leading university in training and research in the social sciences and humanities. The university currently has 16 faculties, 12 centers and research institutes, as well as over 10,000 students and trainees at various levels and training programs. In 1995, the University established the Department of Chinese Studies under the Faculty of Oriental Studies and has been providing training from bachelor's to doctoral levels in Chinese Studies. Many Chinese students have studied subjects such as International Studies, Vietnamese Studies, and Vietnamese language at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels within the framework of 1+3 and 2+2 training programs. The University hopes to further expand its cooperative relationships with Chinese universities and research institutes.

In response, Professor Yan Xue Tong thanked the University of Social Sciences and Humanities for its warm welcome and proposed several collaborative activities between Tsinghua University and the University, such as organizing international conferences, student and faculty exchanges, and implementing 2+2 and 1+3 training programs.

Associate Professor Pham Quang Minh agreed with Professor Diem Hoc Thong's proposals. In response, the President expressed his wish for Tsinghua University to send students, trainees, and faculty members to the University for visits, research, and internships. Furthermore, the President suggested that the Institute submit articles and contributions to the University's Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities. The President also hoped that the Institute would send staff and faculty to attend upcoming conferences and seminars organized by the University, such as the 5th International Conference on Vietnamese Studies in December.
