In our We Talk series, international students from Malaysia, Indonesia, Kyrgyzstan, and Vietnam are exploring the power of youth in spearheading regional cooperation. Through engaging discussions, these emerging leaders share insights on successful collaborations in trade, cultural exchange, environmental management, and tourism that are already strengthening bonds across borders.
Do Pham Ngoc Diem, a Vietnamese student at Tsinghua University, highlighted that initiatives such as the establishment of Confucius Institutes in Vietnam and the hosting of Vietnamese cultural events in the Chinese mainland create meaningful bridges between nations. His perspective underscores the belief that intercultural dialogue and mutual understanding are key to a peaceful and flourishing Asia.
