He noted that the group has taken part in many charitable activities in education, healthcare and art in Vietnam as part of efforts in helping the poor and training teachers in remote and mountainous areas.

Notably, the Sunwah Foundation has completed the ULIS-Sunwah Chinese Teaching and Research Centre in the University of Languages and International Studies, creating a venue for Chinese teaching and the study of Confucianism.

Recognising outstanding contributions of Choi as well as the Sunwah Group and Sunwah Foundation, the Deputy PM said he hopes the group will exert more efforts to support the education development in Vietnam, while maintaining the effective operation of the ULIS-Sunwah Centre.
