MGIMO Day in Hanoi: How It Was🌐🇻🇳 "Vietnamese MGIMO graduates, myself included, take great pride in being part of the MGIMO family!", – Nguyen Phuong Nga, MGIMO alumna, former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, and former Chairwoman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations. On January 26, Hanoi, Vietnam, successfully hosted "MGIMO Day" – the first large-scale event in a series of meetings between the university's representatives and prospective students from ASEAN countries. 👉 The event brought together over one hundred and fifty school and university students, as well as representatives from the Embassy of Russia in Vietnam, the Russian House in Hanoi, MGIMO alumni, and journalists. Warm greetings were addressed to the audience by H.E. Gennady Bezdetko, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Russian Federation to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, and Vladimir Murashkin, Head of the Russian Centre of Science and Culture in Hanoi. A valuable addition was the address to future applicants by Nguyen Phuong Nga, MGIMO alumna, former Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, and former Chairwoman of the Vietnam Union of Friendship Organizations. ➖Another alumnus of our alma mater, Nguyen Manh Tien, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for National Defense, Security, and International Relations of the National Assembly of Vietnam and a member of the Parliamentary Friendship Group with Russia, was also a guest of honor at the event. The International Marketing Group presented the distinguished guests with commemorative gifts and letters of gratitude from MGIMO Rector A.Torkunov. Then, the guests were fully immersed in the university atmosphere: MGIMO International Marketing Group gave a presentation about the university and answered all questions about admissions and the academic process in detail. 📚 The immersion into academic life continued with engaging lectures by leading MGIMO professors: Sergey Vasilyev, Deputy Director of the International Institute of Energy Policy and Diplomacy, spoke to prospective students about the intricacies of energy diplomacy, and Anastasia Makarenko, Deputy Academic Supervisor of the MGIMO Economic Club Oeconomicus, delivered an interactive lecture "The Economic Puzzle: Why is Cooperation Beneficial for Russia and Vietnam?" ⚡️A special highlight was the "Russia-Vietnam Strategic Partnership" quiz for future leaders, where the most active participants received commemorative prizes from the university. 🇷🇺 This eventful day concluded with a performance by the Vietnamese ensemble "Berezka," whose sincerity once again reminded everyone of the deep cultural ties between the two countries. This is how we remember MGIMO Day in Hanoi – vibrant, informative, and truly inspiring. Thank you to everyone who was with us! We extend special gratitude to the Embassy of Russia in the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Russian House in Hanoi, and the MGIMO Vietnamese Association for their invaluable assistance in organizing this meeting.
