HUST Students Confidently Shine among ASEAN - China

  "Xin chào, Nǐ hǎo, Good afternoon distinguished delegates,..." was the trilingual greeting of a freshman from Hanoi University of Science and Technology amidst the silent auditorium of a presentation with guests from 11 ASEAN member states - China. When the presentation ended, responding to the student were resounding rounds of applause, whistles, and some people chanting "Vietnam! Vietnam!". 

In July 2026, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology delegation, consisting of 1 official and 5 students representing the young generation of Vietnam, participated in the 12th ASEAN - China Young Leaders Exchange Program in Qinghai Province, China.
  The program is a forum for dialogue, connection, and leadership capacity building for the younger generation from ASEAN countries and China. Guest delegations from 11 countries had the opportunity to meet, exchange cultures, and share knowledge about the common issues of the world.

The HUST delegation left a positive impression on international friends by always showing a proactive, civilized, and confident attitude in communication, and actively participating in conversations. Notably, the representative of Hanoi University of Science and Technology, Bui Huy Hoang, a cohort 70 student of the School of Information and Communication Technology, shone at the presentation on the topic "Creating a Smart Homeland through New Quality Productive Forces," emphasizing the role of education, innovation, digital transformation, and ASEAN - China cooperation in sustainable development.
  Commenting on Huy Hoang's presentation, Mr. Raul L. Lambino, Chairman of the Association for Philippines-China Understanding, expressed his deep appreciation: "Thank you so much for your impressive presentation. You mentioned about smart homeland begins with smart people; smart people build smart future. I love that so much!”
  Delegates from 11 ASEAN member states were also very excited about the HUST student's presentation. Everyone in the auditorium constantly applauded to cheer, recorded videos, and took photos to capture Huy Hoang's shining moment.

Through practical experience activities in Qinghai, China, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology delegation visited and researched the model of clean energy development, ecological conservation, and technology application in Qinghai. The delegation members expanded their thinking on applying scientific knowledge to solve major societal problems.
  Not only broadening their horizons with the scientific and technological applications of developed countries, the Hanoi University of Science and Technology delegation also excellently completed the task of cultural exchange and people-to-people diplomacy. The delegation actively participated in the cultural exchange Gala night, introducing Vietnamese identity and the HUST spirit to international friends. Representatives from Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc., showed a lot of special affection for the Vietnamese delegation, and the delegations promised to reunite in another country to explore and experience new cultures together.

The end of the trip does not close a journey but is just the beginning of a beautiful friendship, a multinational, cross-border relationship. The young ASEAN leaders have a wide-open future with many development opportunities ahead. They will meet again and go further on their career paths. For HUST students, that opportunity originates from the very school they are attending.
  Proactively orienting students on background knowledge (culture, diplomacy, international etiquette) before the trip was a key factor helping the delegation be confident and shine. As Vietnam's leading university of science and technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology trains students who are not only strong in logical thinking and technical expertise but also contribute to society as useful citizens, demonstrating excellent leadership, international integration, and diplomatic capabilities.

In summary, the business trip leading the delegation of 5 Hanoi University of Science and Technology students to participate in the 12th ASEAN - China Young Leaders Exchange Program in Qinghai, China was a great success, fully achieving the set objectives in terms of diplomacy, academics, and safety and security. The trip affirmed the position and image of HUST students in particular and Vietnamese youth in general. The HUST delegation demonstrated dynamism and bravery on the international stage, while equipping each individual with valuable experiences for personal image development - representing the intellectual youth of the country.
 

"Being selected as one of five Hanoi University of Science and Technology students to represent Vietnamese students at the 12th ASEAN - China Young Leaders Exchange Program is a great honor for me personally. I will always cherish the opportunity to represent Vietnamese students participating in the program and view it as a motivation to continue my efforts in studying, personal development, and contributing more to Hanoi University of Science and Technology, to Vietnamese youth, and to the country's development in the era of international integration." – Nguyen Thai An, student of Advanced Program in Business Analytics 02 K68, School of Economics and Management, Hanoi University of Science and Technology "With only five official days of the program (July 21-25), for me, they were the most brilliant five days of my youth, containing countless valuable lessons, experiences, and affections. I believe that the seeds of friendship sown in Qinghai will continue to grow in the heart of every delegate, so that in the future, our young generation will become the sustainable bridges contributing to promoting peace, cooperation, and development among Vietnam, ASEAN, and China." – Bui Huy Hoang, student of ICT 02-K70, School of Information and Communication Technology, Hanoi University of Science and Technology "The excellent performance of each member has proven that the capacity and bravery of our Vietnamese delegation are absolutely not inferior to any international representatives. Returning to Vietnam, I bring with me not only the brightest memories of my youth but also a mission: to continuously strive, cultivate knowledge and bravery to be worthy as a representative of the integrating young HUST generation, ready to dedicate to a green, smart, and cohesively developed Vietnam alongside the region." – Pham Huyen Bang Chau, student of FL1.01 K69, English for Science and Technology, Faculty of Foreign Languages, Hanoi University of Science and Technology "As a delegate representing Vietnamese students, I am always aware that every action, every word, and my way of behaving contributes to building the image of Vietnamese youth in the eyes of international friends. Returning to HUST as a future Pharmaceutical Chemical Engineer, I bring with me not only knowledge about green energy and scientific and technical applications but also a strong aspiration for integration." - Trinh Minh Duc, student of Advanced Program in Pharmaceutical Chemical Engineering 01-K67, School of Chemistry and Life Sciences, Hanoi University of Science and Technology "When traveling under the name of the University and the country, I always remind myself to carry a part of the responsibility. I view this trip as a reason to continue trying, learning more, maturing more, and doing something useful for Hanoi University of Science and Technology, for young Vietnamese people, and for the country's development on the journey of integration." – Nguyen Thi Anh Tho, student of Advanced Program in Multimedia 02-K68, School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Hanoi University of Science and Technology
