Several major and important international events, business trips and meetings with international partners were either delayed or canceled; the exchange of staff, lecturers and students decreased significantly, affecting the efficiency of VNU’s international cooperation activities. However, VNU did its best to stay connected and promoted the ongoing partnerships with partners as well as looked for opportunities to expand and develop its partnership through the signing of 7 new agreements on the implementation of training programs, student exchanges; promoting the application for funding and implementation of international cooperation projects; organizing 53 important forums, conferences and seminars in many fields both face-to-face and virtual, etc. In 2020, the year of Vietnam’s ASEAN Chairmanship, VNU actively participated in the activities of the ASEAN SocioCultural Community chaired by the Ministry of Labour, War Invalids and Social Affairs. VNU also hosted the ASEAN - Korea Youth Conference.
