Prof. Choi Kyoung Jin  accompanying with Chairman of Global Hope Association in Vietnam Kim Kwang Kyun, representative of International Relations Choi Su Kyoung and 20 students of Gachon University.

The delegation was welcomed by Vice Rector Dr. Nguyen Van Nam, Dean of Oriental Studies Assoc.

The delegation will stay at LHU dormitory and take part in exchange activities with Korean Studies students from June 25 to July 2.
