The most important thing is to invest in education and train talented people, said Suh Sung Kwan, president of the Lotte Scholarship Foundation, adding that he hopes the scholarships will encourage students to pursue their dreams.

Bui Van Linh, a representative from the Ministry of Education and Training, thanked Lotte Group’s attention to education in Vietnam and congratulated the 78 outstanding students with financial difficulties. He said that this is a symbol for the ties of friendship between Vietnam and the RoK.

He hopes that the scholarship foundation will expand to students in remote and disadvantaged areas to help them have better learning conditions.
