Following the discussion at the 7th Review Meeting of the ASEAN International Mobility for Students (AIMS) Program held in the Philippines, on 26 May 2014 Dr. Kazuo N. Watanabe, Chairman of the AIMS program at the Center for International Students of the University of Tsukuba (UT), worked with Hanoi University of Agriculture (HUA) and discussed opportunities, policies, plans concerning student exchange and a credit transfer system between the two universities in the academic year 2014-2015. Participating in the meeting were representatives from the International Cooperation Office, the Faculties of Agronomy, and Accounting and Business Management.

At the meeting, Dr. Watanabe informed that UT would send 2 students and propose to receive 2 HUA students for the first year of bilateral AIMS implementation. The student exchange could start as soon as students register their preferred subjects and might last for one semester. With a high desire to receive and strongly support students from HUA and to maintain the balance in the bilateral exchange, UT commits to offer roundtrip airfares and accommodation in addition to the AIMS agreed supports in terms of tuition and enrolment fees. Insurance and visa expenses would be further taken into consideration aligned with the Japanese government as well as UT budgets proposed for the AIMS program.
\r\n
In turn, HUA introduced related issues of the two advanced training programs including lecturer sources, curriculae, credit system, etc and its facilities such as lecture halls, library, laboratories, and dormitory.
\r\n
Both sides expressed a consent in fostering the AIMS cooperation and facilitating student exchange for the academic year 2014-2015.
