Founded in 2010, the institute is a joint project between Saint Petersburg University and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (NPA), said Director of the institute Prof. Vladimir Kolotov.
Over the past six years, the two sides have worked together to organise various workshops on President Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts, the outcomes of which were collated into a book published in Russian and Vietnamese.
The institute has conducted studies on Vietnam’s politics, economy, history and culture, and trained students, while seeking ways to expand cooperation between Vietnam and Russia, he said.
