Later, the meeting continued with discussion and exchange of the students of both sides on many issues such as maintaining the historical and traditional values as well as absorbing the values of modern civilization; the look of youth about the wars in Vietnam; themes on life and future careers after graduation.
After the exchange, Prof. Dr. Vo Van Sen - Rector of University of Social Sciences & Humanities spent some time meeting with Professor Yoshiharu Tsuboi.
