On 11 November, the delegation attended the conference “Enhancing International Education Cooperation – Exploring New Pathways for Exchange and Development.” At the plenary session, Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Ngoc Khanh presented HUMG’s international cooperation strategy, highlighting the University’s well-established strengths in geotechnical safety—from disaster early warning and foundation engineering to underground construction and landslide mitigation. These capabilities resonate strongly with the emerging technological and research priorities of China’s expanding railway sector, drawing significant attention from participating institutions.
On the sidelines of the event, the delegation engaged in purposeful discussions with the leadership of Zhengzhou Railway Vocational and Technical College. Both sides explored the development of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and clear avenues for expanding faculty–student mobility in railway engineering. HUMG emphasized its expertise in disaster prevention and geotechnical sciences, while the partner institution highlighted its advantages in automation, railway operations, and practice-oriented vocational training. The exchanges helped identify mutually beneficial areas for forward-looking cooperation.
