Moscow (VNA) - Vice Chairwoman of the
Russia - Vietnam Friendship Association (RVFA) Regina Budarina has attributed
the success of the 13th National Party Congress to the pillars of
Party, State, and people-to-people diplomacy.
In a recent interview with Russian news agency
Sputnik, Budarina said the results of the congress will contribute to ensuring
political stability in Vietnam for the years to come. The Communist Party of
Vietnam’s leadership, along with people-to-people diplomacy on the back of State
support, have found success in various fields.
She
described people-to-people diplomacy as an important external policy resource
and an equitable partner of the State in dialogue development and international
cooperation, which has helped improve mutually-beneficial ties and
raising understanding of the culture, tradition, and lifestyles of citizens
worldwide.
Regarding
Russia-Vietnam ties at present, Budarina said the two countries marked the 70th anniversary of bilateral diplomatic ties last year. Despite the COVID-19
pandemic, the RVFA still completed important plans, such as holding the fifth
junior painting competition and exhibitions on the memory of Vietnamese
soldiers in the Great Patriotic War of Russia.
On
October 20, the RVFA also held a scientific seminar on the role of
people-to-people diplomacy in the development of Russia - Vietnam ties, with
358 Russian and Vietnamese delegates taking part.
It
also successfully organised over 60 online trade promotion meetings between
Russian and Vietnamese companies seeking partners./.
