An installation by artist Lee Hwayoung will be displayed at the upcoming exhibition at the Vietnam National Library in Hanoi.
The exhibition Hangeul - Korean Writing System will feature housewares, fashion items and graphic designs that inspired the structure of Hangeul.
"The Korean language is the first foreign language to be taught in Vietnam," said RoK ambassador Choi Young-sam to Vietnam. "Over 60 Vietnamese colleges and universities have a Korean language department. It is the evidence of the enthusiastic reception of the Korean wave in Vietnam that is much better than in any other country.
According to VNS, at the opening of the exhibition, a Memorandum of Understanding will be signed by the RoK’s museum and the Vietanm National Library to promote cooperation programmes and mutual exchange of academic documents and publications.
Events and seminars to promote the cultures of the two countries, including writing letters, will be held and both countries will exchange experts and develop professional skills in the field of preservation of artefacts./.
