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.”

Right from the start of the program, students from the two universities engaged in group interactions and exchange activities, creating a lively atmosphere and quickly breaking the ice, removing all language barriers. They also joined in unique traditional folk games, experiencing firsthand the cultural beauty of each country.

At the event, HUFS student groups introduced their business projects and specific products they plan to showcase at the 2025 International Food and Beverage Exhibition, taking place over the next three days at the Saigon Exhibition and Convention Center (SECC). The ideas catered to the needs and preferences of customers in the Vietnamese market, reflecting the Korean students’ serious investment and dynamic entrepreneurial spirit.

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.
