Hanoi (VNA) – The Hanoi University of Business and Technology (HUBT) and the M.K. Ammosov North-Eastern Federal University of Russia co-hosted the third international conference titled “Russian Language in Asia” in Hanoi on November 25.
The three-day gathering drew nearly 200 delegates, including leaders from various Vietnamese ministries and agencies, representatives from the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, and scholars from Russia, China, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan.
The event, held in in-person and online formats, opened extensive discussions and opportunities for Vietnam-Russia educational cooperation, contributing to improving the quality of Russian language teaching within modern scientific and educational frameworks.
The HUBT’s standing Vice Rector Prof. Nguyen Cong Nghiep said the event will not only help popularise Russian language and culture across Asia but also foster friendship between the two countries’ people.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Murashkin, First Secretary of the Russian Embassy and Director of the Russian Science and Culture Centre in Hanoi, highlighted two key pillars of bilateral collaboration in science and education, including training talent for Vietnam at Russian universities and nurturing partnerships between both countries’ educational institutions.
He believed that discussions at the event would pave the way for extensive scientific research opportunities that can tackle future challenges.
Delegates engaged in discussions on pressing issues surrounding teaching Russian, sharing international experiences, and exploring innovative solutions to improve training quality. A noteworthy highlight was the exploration of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) into Russian language education, a move designed to meet the evolving needs of learners in an increasingly digital world.
The event also featured a cultural exchange between the HUBT students and their counterparts at North-Eastern Federal University of Russia./.
