Continuing with the success and experience of the first
Vietnamese-Japanese Studentsf Scientific Exchange (VJSE) Meeting in
2004, the second VJSE-2005 Meeting was held at Osaka University on
November 5-6. It provided various opportunities for students and
researchers to exchange not only academic ideas but also cultural
activities.
Solidarity - Cooperation - Development
was slogan of VJSE-2005 |

The opening ceremony was held at the Sigma Hall with the participation
of many Japanese professors, Vietnamese young and senior researchers
as well as Vietnamese officials. They all highly appreciated VJSE and
its activities that link Vietnamese and Japanese people in in a number
of aspects. |

This was the second time
that VDF Tokyo became one of the sponsors of the VJSE Meeting.
Recently, VDF Tokyo is getting known to both Vietnamese and Japanese
students, particularly in Kanto and Kansai areas. VDF publications in
a number of fields related to the development of Vietnam were in
display at VJSE, attracting the attention of the participants.
