The Vice Rector was optimistic about the potential for cooperation between USSH and Hallym University through such activities as exchanging lecturers and students, collaborating in common research projects and co-holding joint training programs.  

In response, Prof. Choi Young Jae expressed his gratefulness for being warmly welcomed by USSH. He said Hallym University would like to receive a lecturer from USSH to come to Korea and study about the country and its language. Hallym University would also consider bilateral cooperation with USSH’s Faculty of Journalism and Communication.

On behalf of USSH, Assoc. Prof. Dr Hoang Anh Tuan committed to selecting an appropriate candidate for the suggestion made by Hallym University. He also hoped the two sides can extend cooperation to other fields such as Sociology, Social Work, and Political Science.
