Hung Yen is a land of "geomancy and talent", famous for its tradition of learning. After nearly a thousand years of feudal examinations, the villages and communes in the former Thai Binh province alone had more than 120 Confucian scholars who passed the imperial examinations, with degrees ranging from Phó bảng to Trạng nguyên, including the third-ranked Le Quy Don, who is considered a shining symbol of Vietnamese spirit and intelligence.

Completing the dossier to register Le Quy Don as a World Cultural Celebrity is not only to honor his personal contributions, but also to affirm the position of Vietnamese culture and Vietnamese intelligence in the international arena.

Delegation of Hung Yen province met and exchanged with Korean delegation.

Over the past 300 years, the talent and stature of cultural celebrity Le Quy Don have been affirmed and received the attention of many domestic and foreign scientists and researchers, at the same time showing the need to more widely introduce Le Quy Don's heritage to the world.

Le Quy Don was famous as a child prodigy from a young age, topping all three exams: Huong, Hoi, and Dinh, and becoming a talented intellectual, not only good at the fields of philosophy, history, geography, and astronomy, but also an excellent writer and diplomat. He was the embodiment of the spirit of continuous learning, creativity, and intelligence.

Delegation of Hung Yen province presented a book about cultural celebrity Le Quy Don to the Japanese delegation.

Within the framework of the 43rd Session, the General Assembly will discuss and decide on many important issues, including those related to Vietnam and Hung Yen province. According to the plan, the Session will take place from October 30 to November 13, 2025.
