Launched in 2015, the program mainly aims to support Vietnamese students, who will be the future master of the country and responsible for developing a prosperous Vietnam.
Meanwhile, KORCHAM annually holds a CSR activity to encourage Korean companies to contribute to promoting Vietnam’s socio-economic development and fostering the bilateral cooperation and relationship.
