 At 11 a.m. on the 14th at the YU President's reception room, the two institutes agreed to utilize the capacities of each institute and cooperate in ▲joint research activities ▲academic material and publication exchange ▲faculty exchange for research, lecture and debates ▲and undergraduate and graduate school student exchange for education and research.  

 At this signing ceremony were present YU President Noh Seok-kyun, external cooperation office director Jeon Jeong-gi, College of Liberal Arts Dean Kim Han-gon, Korean Language and Literature Professor Lee Mi-hyang, as well as HUFLIT chief secretary Tran Quang Nam, Tourism and Nursing Department Dean Luong Thi Ly, Eastern Language and Culture Department Dean Tran Van Tieng, and Korean Studies Department Professor Pham Thi Thuy Linh from Vietnam also were in attendance.

 Chief Secretary Tran Quang Nam said, "The student exchange program helped a lot in allowing Vietnamese students to study at YU," and added, "With this MOU, we hope to operate a guest professor program so that the YU Korean major professors can come to Vietnam and teach Korean to Vietnamese students."

 President Noh Seok-kyun said, "Through the exchange and cooperation since 2004, both institutes were able to develop further," and added, "With the signing of this agreement, I hope that the education, research and academic exchange will become more inclusive for both institutes."
