During the meeting, the leaders of the two schools discussed opportunities for future cooperation between the two sides.

Associate Professor Dr. Nguyen Van Kim emphasized: "The University of Social Sciences and Humanities always prioritizes and strengthens cooperative relationships with universities both domestically and internationally. For many years, the university has had very good cooperative relationships with universities in Taiwan; the number of scholars and graduate students coming to Vietnam for research is increasing. This visit by the delegation from Pingtung University of Education to the University of Social Sciences and Humanities marks a good start for the cooperative relationship between the two universities in the future. It is hoped that both sides will soon have concrete collaborations: exchanging lecturers and students, coordinating joint research projects, etc."
