Abstract
I was dispatched to visit Hanoi, Vietnam in October, 2019 to seek new recruits to our newly
established Japanese Language School affiliated with Teikyo Heisei University. Hanoi that holds
a mixture of both developing and developed aspects was an ever-growing city than expected.
The candidates who received written and interview tests showed favorable outcomes and seemed
competent in continuing studies in Japan. After graduation from the university they can sustainably
contribute to the fundamentals in Japanese society and culture. Vietnamese people are truly polite
and tender and showed us warm hospitality. I hope more and more Vietnamese students come to
our Japanese Language School and matriculate in Teikyo University group thereafter. Vietnam has
obtained a marvelous reputation in confining the new coronavirus infection because affected patients
only show as low as 340 and no death has not been reported so far. The exceedingly early action of
inhibiting entry from foreign countries and of confinement of the city until safe both resulted in a
great success as an ant-corona strategy. Vietnam can teach us many things to mimic and can become
a reliable partner to pursue SDGs together for many years to come.
