The Vietnamese Embassy in Moscow and the overseas Vietnamese community in Russia celebrated the 65th anniversary of Vietnam-Russia diplomatic ties and the Lunar New Year at a ceremony on February 2.

Russia’s Pravda newspaper remarked Party General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong’s visit to Russia as a historical milestone in bilateral relations in an article featuring the event.

The Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association (RVFA) and the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia jointly held a ceremony in Moscow on January 22 to mark the 40th anniversary of the Paris Peace Agreement (January 27, 1973-2013) and the 70th anniversary of the Soviet people’s Stalingrad Victory (February 2, 1943-2013).

The Russia-Vietnam Friendship Association (RVFA) convened its seventh congress on April 20 in Moscow to review its performance in the 2007-2012 term and set forth tasks for the new period.

Vietnam and Russia are to hold numerous activities in 2010 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the diplomatic ties in late January.
