In a meeting with Choi, Dr. Nguyen responded, “UT-HCMC is located in Ho Chi Minh City, which serves as the greatest economic hub in Vietnam and has Saigon Port, the largest port in our nation. Based on its advantageous location, it has actively cultivated talented experts in the marine transportation field, which has shown dynamic growth in Vietnam. As KMOU is situated in Busan, the greatest port city in Korea, the engagement of our students in KMOU’s 2+2 program will create substantial momentum toward the expansion of our interactions with KMOU and Korea.” The KMOU delegation also paid a visit to the Korean Education Centre in Ho Chi Minh City, an institution dedicated to supporting Korean education and activities to attract overseas students to the city. During this meeting, they discussed measures for promoting the enrollment of overseas students at KMOU and providing them with KMOU promotional materials. In addition, both parties agreed to continue their cooperation. Further the KMOU delegation extended its outreach to the South Korean Consulate General in Ho Chi Minh City to bolster communication and streamline procedures between KMOU and public organizations in Vietnam regarding tasks required for increasing the entrance of Vietnamese students into South Korea, such as document authentication and visa application. Choi stated, “Following our visit to Ho Chi Minh City, we will constantly make efforts to actively attract young and dynamic Vietnamese talent with a great passion for education from various universities, including UT-HCMC, and ultimately encourage KMOU to become a reputable global university specializing in the maritime field.”
