[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Gwan-woo] Chonnam National University announced on the 20th that it has been selected for the Ministry of Education's ‘CAMPUS Asia-AIMS Project.’


This project was established to create a cooperative foundation among Korea and ASEAN countries by promoting exchanges between students from these nations.
