He hopes that the two schools can increase their understanding, deepen their emotional ties, and strengthen their cooperation.

Teachers from the Open University of Hanoi, Vietnam, expressed their hope to study and inspire each other with the students of the Open University of Yunnan, and also hoped that this event would become a new starting point for cooperation between the two universities.
