The program extended beyond student exchange activities between the two universities to include valuable hands-on learning experiences. During their visit, the Japanese students toured manufacturing facilities operated by Japanese companies in Vietnam, gaining first-hand insights into production and business operations, as well as career opportunities in an increasingly globalized environment.

Alongside the academic activities, cultural and historical experiences gave the students a deeper understanding of Vietnam and its people. The country’s friendliness, dynamic development, and rich cultural heritage left a lasting impression on the visiting delegation.
