On the morning of September 12th, the University of Social Sciences and Humanities (Vietnam National University Ho Chi Minh City) collaborated with the Bonghwa District government (South Korea) to organize a program introducing the "K-Vietnam Valley" project. This activity aimed to commemorate the 33rd anniversary of the establishment of official diplomatic relations and affirm the depth of Vietnamese-Korean culture.
The "Vietnamese Village" project in Bonghwa is known as a place preserving the relics of the Ly Hoa Son clan. Begun in 2018, the project covers an area of over 118,000 m² and features prominent structures such as the One Pillar Pagoda, a statue of King Ly Thai To, a museum, and a Vietnamese cultural center. The project not only honors the history of the Ly clan but also creates a unique space for education , tourism, and cultural exchange, bridging the past and future, and strengthening the sustainable relationship between Vietnam and Korea.
Mr. Kwon Tae Han, Acting Consul General of South Korea in Ho Chi Minh City, emphasized that Vietnam-Korea relations have made remarkable progress since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992, especially after being upgraded to a comprehensive strategic partnership in 2022. He also mentioned the historical link stemming from Prince Ly Long Tuong's settlement in Goryeo nearly 800 years ago and affirmed that Bonghwa County plays an important role in Vietnam-Korea cultural exchange. He expressed confidence that the introduction of the "Vietnamese Village" Project at the school will contribute to spreading and strongly promoting the friendly relations between the two countries.
Speaking at the event, Professor Ngo Thi Phuong Lan, Rector of the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Ho Chi Minh City, shared: "This project is not only a cultural and historical landmark but also a symbol of the nearly 800-year-old exchange between the Vietnamese and Korean peoples. This introductory program is an opportunity to spread the special significance of the project, contributing to arousing national pride and raising awareness among the younger generation about the responsibility to preserve and promote heritage."
