On May 2015, Former Secretary General Ki-moon Ban of the United Nations stated during the UN Academic Impact Forum held in Seoul regarding the International Development Cooperation Project of HGU, “Handong University is an example of opening up the future of education through entrepreneurship training.” Likewise, Abadula Gemeda, Speaker of the House of People's Representatives, the lower chamber of the Ethiopian Parliament, stated, “Ethiopia needs training to encourage entrepreneurship, and wishes to take part the UNITWIN opportunity offered by Handong.”
In 2007, Handong was designated as UNITWIN hosted by UNESCO in order to strengthen the sustainable development capacity of developing nations.
