At HUMG, the delegation held a working session with the International Office and the Faculty of Geosciences and Geology Engineering. The two sides discussed academic programs, research orientations, and potential strategies for advancing collaborative activities based on the Memorandum of Understanding previously signed between the two faculties and institutions, in line with each party’s academic strengths and development priorities. The delegation also participated in an academic exchange at HUMG’s Geological Museum alongside faculty members, Vietnamese students, and international students currently studying at the university. The museum is an academic exhibition space integrated with teaching, displaying diverse geological specimens that support instruction and in-depth research.
This working session marked an important step toward realizing cooperation commitments, contributing to enhanced academic linkages and promoting the internationalization of training and research. In addition, the visit served as a valuable opportunity to strengthen student engagement between the two institutions, following the 2024 International Student Summer Camp organized and sponsored by Trisakti University, in which HUMG students participated in Indonesia.

In the following days, the delegation, along with faculty members and students from the Faculty of Geosciences and Geological Engineering at HUMG, undertook a field trip to Ha Giang – a province renowned for its dramatic geological landscapes and rich cultural identity. The survey route explored the unique geological characteristics of the UNESCO Global Geopark of the Dong Van Karst Plateau, leaving a strong impression thanks not only to its spectacular scenery but also to its rich cultural and geoheritage value, with many scientifically significant observations.
