The most meaningful activity of the program was the gift-giving ceremony. The representative leaders from HUCE  personally presented international students with traditional green sticky rice cakes (bánh chưng) and lucky red envelopes (lì xì), conveying wishes for a healthy, successful, and peaceful New Year. The subsequent "Quiz with Prizes" on the theme of the Vietnamese Lunar New Year was incredibly lively, allowing international students to both excitedly receive gifts and gain interesting knowledge about Vietnamese customs and traditions.

The meeting was ended with commemorative photos showcasing the radiant smiles of all the leaders, professors and international students.
