South Korean institutions are expanding cooperation with Vietnamese partners through educational, economic, and medical initiatives.

Yeungnam University, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and the Saemaul Foundation have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City.
