Both locations, known as Thai Nguyen and Can Tho 2, have been set up following a co-operation agreement reached between Sejong Korean Language Foundation and Korean agencies, and will be operated by the Korea Center for United Nations Human Rights Policy (KOCUN).

The main aim behind the Can Tho 2 centre is to teach Korean to Vietnamese women who are married to Korean men and who have subsequently returned to the nation.

The new facilities will help to promote both Korean language and culture among those in need in Vietnamese localities.
