I believe these visits are crucial for supporting the development of UNS, especially FKIP,” Prof. Triyanto said.
During the visit, the delegation was warmly received by the Consul General of the Republic of Indonesia in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, Agustaviano Sofjan. The Consulate General expressed a commitment to collaborate in enhancing the quality of education.
