Young Statesmen
of Vietnam
Weekly Training & Development
Young Statesmen of Vietnam is a premier academic and diplomatic platform dedicated to the youth, where leadership values and political thinking are nurtured through parliamentary simulations and multilateral forums.
With a mission to foster civilized discourse, YSV equips students with essential negotiation and conflict-resolution skills while igniting a sense of responsibility toward regional and global challenges. Through this initiative, I aim to cultivate a community of future leaders who possess strategic vision, a deep respect for national heritage, and the courage to advance Vietnam’s standing on the global stage.
Mini MUN 2026
Mini MUN was an internal event held exclusively for members of the YSV project across Hanoi. It provided a hands-on opportunity for our team to gain practical experience, sharpen critical thinking, and hone diplomatic negotiation skills—serving as a crucial stepping stone for the official YSV MUN 2026 conference. Centered around the theme "Korean Crisis 2019", the conference simulated the intense geopolitical crisis on the Korean Peninsula in 2019, bringing a thrilling mock committee where our members successfully challenged their capabilities.
YSV Model United Nations 2026
(Secretary - General)
On August 15–16, 2026, YSV Model United Nations 2026 concluded with great success at Genesis School, gathering 60 outstanding delegates from across the nation. Centered on the overarching theme "Developing a Common Heritage", the conference served as a platform where young leaders raised their responsible voices, engaging in dialogue to shape strategic solutions for pressing global issues.
The academic intensity was vividly reflected through sharp debate sessions across two committees: UNEP (Rethinking Climate Finance in the Context of Climate Responsibility) and UNHRC (Protection of Press Personnel in Conflict Zones). Driven by diplomacy, confidence, and collaboration, delegates successfully drafted and passed high-quality Draft Resolutions within an atmosphere that was both highly professional and deeply engaging.
The success of YSV MUN 2026 was made possible thanks to the invaluable support of our Venue Sponsor - Genesis School, the strategic leadership of the Secretariat, the impartiality of the Chair Board, the tireless dedication of the Organizing Committee, and the vibrant passion of all 60 delegates. Though the conference has come to an end, the journey of building a common heritage continues forward.

TEDxHanoi Youth
TEDxHanoi Youth 2026 was a platform connecting impactful and unique ideas under the central theme "Resonance - The Power of Amplification". Borrowing a concept from physics, the event served as a metaphor for how individual voices and perspectives, once aligned and connected, create powerful ripples that spread positive values throughout the community across Environment, Education, Culture, and Politics.
At the event, I delivered a talk titled “Learning to Be Human in the Age of Algorithms”. Through this presentation, I emphasized the vital role of education in equipping the youth with critical thinking, information verification skills, and social responsibility in the AI era. My ultimate goal was to awaken core human values, empowering the younger generation to actively shape their own identities instead of being dissolved by technological algorithms.

Governance
in the Gaps
Governance in the Gaps is a policy - oriented podcast examining Vietnam’s post - Doi Moi diplomacy through political, economic, and cultural governance lenses (1986–present).
The project’s core mission is to bridge the "gaps" between academic theories and the complex realities of global operations, shedding light on strategies such as Bamboo Diplomacy and Strategic Hedging in today’s geopolitical landscape. By archiving these critical insights, I seek to empower the youth to engage in national discourse and inspire my generation to view politics not as an abstraction, but as a vital instrument for safeguarding cultural heritage and national interests in a volatile world.

Hanoi Model United Nations
Hanoi Model United Nations is a flagship academic simulation of the United Nations, where young leaders debate pressing global issues, from international security to human rights. Its mission is to empower youth with diplomacy, critical thinking, and a profound understanding of global governance, fostering a generation capable of navigating the complexities of the modern world.
Serving as Head of Media at HMUN sparked a vital question: How do we bridge the gap between global theory and local action? Beyond the world of simulation, I founded Young Statesmen of Vietnam as a catalyst for real change, a platform where youth don't just 'model' diplomacy, but actively cultivate the leadership and integrity needed to shape our nation’s future.
