Very understandably, the CODVID-19 outbreak is making more and more students who have been looking forward to going to Taiwan to study feel anxious and very concerned about being able to obtain their visas. In order to alleviate the situation, on 28 February, 2020 the Education Division of the Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Ho Chi Minh City hosted an orientation seminar for the students who’ll be starting their studies in the spring semester.

This is the second orientation that the Education Division has hosted. It warmly welcomed the students on behalf of Taiwan’s government and told them that the Education Division hopes that, after they complete their studies in Taiwan and return to Vietnam, they will contribute in many ways to social and economic cooperation between Vietnam and Taiwan. This will definitely enhance mutually beneficial development.

The Education Division explained the government’s CODVID-19 policy to the Vietnamese students and what it’s doing to protect the people and maintain their health. The Education Division also gave examples of what the government and specialists are doing to fight the virus. As well as having these current concerns addressed, the students received other helpful information and were able to ask other questions.  

The students who attended the orientation felt that they had their CODVID-19 concerns seriously addressed. They also learned a lot about Taiwan and they are looking forward to going there to study.
