At the meeting, the students heard the presentation about Martin Luther King Jr., the youngest Nobel Peace Prize winner, the dedicated Baptist minister and greatest non-violent civil-rights leaders who had a seismic impact on race relations in the United States by Ms. Le Thi Phuong Loan, lecturer of DIS. After that, Ms. Loan and the participating students had an enthusiastic discussion about Martin Luther King Jr. The discussion was not only aimed at helping the students have a better understanding of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as well as his movement but also directing the students’ attention to thinking about what they could do to make the world a better place as students.

The friendship exchange has brought the students of the two institutions valuable chances to meet new friends and enrich knowledge. It was also a good opportunity for students of DIS to practice their English language skills with native speakers. “This helps to develop the understanding and collaboration between the 2 institutions and strengthen the people-to-people ties between Vietnam and the United States, because we share the same humanistic values inspired by Dr. King’s famous speech "I Have a Dream" emphasizing his belief that someday all men could be brothers,” said Assoc. Prof. Dr. Luu Quy Khuong, Dean of the Department of International Studies, UFLS – UD.
