To foster cooperation and exchange in the field of education and development planning between Van Lang University and Meiji University, the two institutions have discussed the infrastructure to support the exchange programs, and the lessons learned from organizing international classes. Both institutions aim to promote open education by helping students access multi-dimensional information quickly on training programs, the faculty, facilities, and learning environments, thereby helping students to choose the exchange and international programs that are suitable for them.

Assoc. Udo Satoshi - the School of Global Japanese Studies (SGJS) at Meiji University states: "The School of Global Japanese Studies at Meiji University was established in 2008 with the aim of integrating Japanese studies. Currently, SGJS has 20% international students, and we offer 8 different levels of Japanese classes. International students participating in the program are divided into 8 research fields, including K-Pop Culture, Visual Culture Studies, Social Systems and Media Studies, International Relations and Intercultural Exchange Studies, International Culture and Thoughts Studies, Japanese Culture and Thoughts Studies, Japanese Language Studies, and English Language Studies". 

Meiji University, located in Tokyo, Japan, is widely recognized as one of the top private universities for international students studying in Japan. Over the years, Meiji University has successfully trained many talented individuals in the land of cherry blossoms. It provides an ideal learning environment for international students, and also a great place to live, with a friendly, open, and welcoming atmosphere that facilitates quick integration into the new cultural environment for international students. It is expected that Van Lang University and Meiji University will soon sign an MOU and implement academic and student exchange activities.
