Moscow (VNA) – The Vietnam Week in Russia, spotlighting Vietnam as a gateway to Asia, is underway in Moscow to beef up the nations’ friendship and cooperation.

Lasting from April 17 to 23, the event features eight roundtable discussions on economy, science and education, with participants talking about prospects for the bilateral engagements in the fields of banking, oil and gas exploration, health, and IT. On schedule are also lesson and practice sessions on Vietnam’s history, arts, and cuisine, among others.

At the opening ceremony, Russian Deputy Minister of Science and Higher Education Konstantin Mogilevsky said in his online speech that it is the first time such a week-long programme on cooperation with Vietnam has been organised.

Mogilevsky informed participants that an alliance of Russian and Vietnamese technical universities is expected to be set up based on the coordination among the Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Moscow Aviation Institute, and Moscow Power Engineering Institute.

The alliance is expected to become a key factor in the nations’ educational cooperation, providing the Vietnamese industry with highly qualified human resources, he said.

The Russian official noted that the sides involved are considering the organisation of the 2nd Vietnam-Russia university rectors’ forum in Moscow this autumn and a Russian week in Vietnam.

14th National Party Congress: Vietnam’s strategic shift in new era

Vietnam now stands at the threshold of a new development era, driven by strong aspirations and substantial potential. The 14th Party Congress is, therefore, of decisive importance for the country’s future transformations, particularly amid an international environment marked by uncertainty and volatility. While this phase may be among the most complex of the renewal process, it also presents a critical opportunity for Vietnam to break through and evolve from an “Asian tiger” into a regional “dragon.”
