On August 6, Ho Chi Minh City University of Technology (HUTECH) welcomed a group of students from Hankuk University of Foreign Studies (HUFS), Korea, for the Vietnam - Korea Cultural Exchange program. Organized by the Faculty of English in collaboration with the HUTECH English Club (HEC), the event served as a bridge for students to engage in the process of international integration.
In his opening remarks, Dr. Le Van Tuyen, Deputy Head of the Faculty of English Language, emphasized: “Today is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to share and appreciate the cultural values of the two countries. I believe that the diverse networking activities in the program will further strengthen bilateral friendship while promoting cooperation and mutual learning in the future.”

Within the framework of the exhibition, the HUFS delegation will officially launch a startup project called “2ComeUs.” Acting as hosts, HUTECH students will continue to accompany and support their Korean peers with interpretation and networking. This will not only strengthen academic exchanges between the two universities but also offer HUTECH students a valuable opportunity to gain real-world work experience, improve foreign language proficiency, adaptability, and professional confidence in an internationalized environment.
Mr. Truong Hien Phuong, representative of KIS Vietnam Securities Corporation, shared about the company’s impressive growth in both scale and operations in the Vietnamese market, as well as potential career opportunities for English majors in particular and HUTECH students in general.
