MGIMO Day in Hanoi: How It Was 🌐 🇻🇳
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.
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.

The MGIMO team continues its tour in Southeast Asian countries, and our next stop is the Lao People's Democratic Republic! 🌐 🇱🇦
Ahead of this visit, we spoke with 2nd-year Master's student Panita Huangphachan from Laos, who is studying "Politics and Economics of Russia-ASEAN Strategic Partnership." Especially for #MGIMOinside, she talked about her choice of university, relations between Russia and Laos, and, of course, the mission of MGIMO graduates.
❔ Why did you choose Russia, and MGIMO in particular, for your education?
➖ The opportunity to study in Russia came thanks to an offer from the Lao Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My parents, both graduates of Soviet universities, were confident that MGIMO is a unique and prestigious university. Now, in my sixth year of study at MGIMO, I understand that following their advice and taking the MGIMO entrance exams was one of my best decisions, for which I am very grateful to them.
❔ What turned out to be the most surprising in the educational process?
➖ I was pleasantly surprised by the high level of practical orientation at MGIMO. It is not just an academic institution, but a platform for real diplomatic work.
❔ Are there any courses that have influenced your professional interests and plans?
➖ The ASEAN Center at MGIMO had a particularly strong influence on me. It was this center that helped me finally define my academic and professional goals. I was so inspired that after completing my bachelor's degree at MGIMO, I entered the Master's program in "Politics and Economics of Russia-ASEAN Strategic Partnership."
❔ How do you assess the current state of relations between Russia and Laos and the prospects for their development?
➖ Our relations are based on a solid historical foundation and continue to develop dynamically. High-level visits, such as the meeting between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Thongloun Sisoulith last July, are proof of this. Based on mutual respect and strategic rapprochement, Russian-Laotian relations have excellent prospects for growth in trade, energy, and humanitarian cooperation.
❔ What role do MGIMO graduates play in developing this strong friendship between the two peoples?
➖ MGIMO graduates form the backbone of Lao diplomacy. Our current Minister of Foreign Affairs Thongsavanh Phomvihane, Deputy Prime Minister Saleumsay Kommasith, and the Lao Ambassador to Russia Siphandone Oybounbouathao are all MGIMO graduates. This creates a strong network of mutual understanding and trust. We, as graduates, possess not only deep knowledge but also a personal connection with Russia.
The conversation with Panita reminded us of a simple truth: behind big politics and strategic partnership there are always personal stories, choices, and the enthusiasm of young people – MGIMO students and graduates.
We thank Panita for her sincere conversation and have no doubt that this story will inspire even more future applicants to choose MGIMO as their alma mater!

The ASEAN Center is based here, the Vitaly Churkin Moscow International Model UN is held, and many other events with the participation of heads of state and diplomats take place.
I plan to build a career in the diplomatic service, with a special focus on
strengthening the strategic partnership between Laos and Russia
, including within the ASEAN framework.
