During the ceremony, Prof. Masanori Namba stated: “We are honored to participate in this signing event. First, I sincerely thank Duy Tan University for creating the opportunity to implement a Memorandum of Understanding and an Exchange Program Agreement for faculty and students with us.

In an increasingly globalized world, it is essential for everyone to be aware of and contribute to solving social issues. These efforts will lead to new ideas and strategies for building a sustainable society. To achieve this, we emphasize the importance of skills such as language proficiency, cultural awareness, problem-solving, and logical reasoning. Jissen’s Women University continually strives to enhance education, helping students recognize their role as members of society and develop practical skills through international activities. We aim to support international students and enrich their educational experience. Through cooperation with Duy Tan University, we hope to achieve these goals and help students develop comprehensively, from knowledge to skills.”

According to the cooperation agreement, the Japanese Language Department at Duy Tan University and Jissen’s Women University will select students with good academic performance and active participation in extracurricular activities to join the Student Exchange Program. Each exchange session will include two students from each university for a period of six months to one year. This initiative not only allows students to experience a new learning environment but also helps them improve their language skills and cultural understanding. In addition to the Student Exchange Program, both institutions will facilitate regular online or in-person interactions, providing opportunities for students to share knowledge, skills, and culture, thereby fostering long-term relationships and collaboration.

Dr. Le Nguyen Bao, President of Duy Tan University, shared: “We are honored to welcome Prof. Masanori Namba and the delegation from Jissen’s Women University to Duy Tan University. We highly value this collaboration, especially for students majoring in Japanese, to participate in international exchange programs. For students, improving foreign language skills and enhancing cultural knowledge is extremely important. To date, Duy Tan University has sent many students for internships at companies in Japan, but this is the first time we are directly cooperating with a Japanese university. We hope that in the future, many Duy Tan students will participate in exchange programs with your university, and we also look forward to welcoming many of your students to Duy Tan. We hope that immediately after the signing ceremony, we can begin detailed discussions regarding the cooperation between our two universities.”
