On the HUMG side, the delegation was received by Prof. Dr. Tran Thanh Hai – Rector of the University, together with representatives from relevant academic faculties. This event was an important occasion in external relations, contributing to the consolidation and development of the strategic partnership between two leading universities in the fields of mining and geosciences in Vietnam and China.
During the meeting, the two universities reviewed the notable achievements of their cooperation since 2002. As one of China’s top universities in mining and geological engineering, CUMT has consistently supported HUMG in training and developing high-quality human resources. To date, more than 300 HUMG staff and students have studied at CUMT, including 13 PhD graduates. Many of them currently hold key positions in teaching, research, and university administration at HUMG, fostering a lasting connection between the two universities — not only at the institutional level but also through strong academic and professional linkages.
Overview of the meeting between HUMG and CUMT
Looking ahead, both sides agreed to further promote joint training programs, academic exchanges of faculty, students, and scholars, as well as cooperation in postgraduate education and the development of research groups in specialized areas aligned with each university’s strengths. CUMT reaffirmed its continued commitment to offering full scholarships to HUMG staff and students in fields such as mining engineering, mine safety, geodesy and cartography, engineering geology, and mining environmental engineering. HUMG also expressed interest in continuing to welcome CUMT scholars and experts to deliver lectures and share professional expertise within the academic cooperation framework between the two universities.
