Vietnamese educational institutions where have international students regularly organize cultural, artistic, and sports exchange activities to create opportunities for international students to get insights into the cultural traditions and people of Vietnam as well as help them understand more about the culture of other nations.

Upon completing their studies in Vietnam, many foreign students have actively engaged in developing cultural, educational, diplomatic, economic, and political relations between their countries with Vietnam, the Ministry of Education and Training said.
