Our school invited delegations from the Vietnamese government to discuss details over the plan for establishing the Sookmyung Cultural Center. The Sookmyung Cultural Center which is going to be opened in Vietnam will be the center of cultural exchange in Asia. It is planning to offer education about Korea and to raise professionals who will be the key of development of the Asian region or leaders who are highly skilled in exchanging cultures between different countries.
