Vietnamese students who graduated from the University of Debrecen back in the 1970s have returned to their alma mater to meet their one-time professors and fellow students. The event was organised within the framework of a conference designed to strengthen Hungarian-Vietnamese relations.
- The idea of the meeting arose two years ago, when I was on a visit to Vietnam, and, to my great surprise, I met eleven students who I used to study at university with me and still speak excellent Hungarian. We decided together to organise this conference, which has the aim of renewing and intensifying cooperation between the two countries in the fields of higher education and academic affairs, said the Chairman of the organising committee, Professor Emeritus Imre Tóth, who graduated from the University of Debrecen as a chemist in 1974.
At present over 4000 foreign students are studying at the University of Debrecen, 169 of whom come from Vietnam. Decades ago, however, this south-east Asian country was the only one that sent students to our university. It was in the 1960s that the faculty of Sciences and Tehnology received the first foreign students, the majority of whom were Vietnamese.
