The Russian Center of Science and Culture holds many events to intensify solidarity among nations, and always welcomes people who love Russian culture." - Konstantin Vnukov, Russian Ambassador to Vietnam.
"Rossotrudnichestvo wants to promote educational activities in Vietnam, particularly the teaching of the Russian language.

We will soon establish clubs like a Russian movies club and a youth club." - Elena Zubsova, Director, Russian Center of Science and Culture in Hanoi, Representative, Rossotrudnichestvo in Vietnam.
As part of the 90thanniversary celebration, an exhibition themed “90 years of public diplomacy” was also held, which featured fascinating exhibits from many different countries around the world.
"Foreign costumes are so diverse in colors and designs. I'm really enjoying this exhibition." - Exhibition goer, Hanoi.
"I’ve been in Vietnam for 6 years. I really love Vietnam, especially the Vietnamese people. Vietnamese people also love Russia and they are very helpful. I also like the way Vietnamese people love their home country. They always remember national heros who made sacrifices for the country." - Ekaterina Krugianovskaya, Student, High School under Embassy of Russia in Vietnam.
Currently, deepening the long-standing friendship and mutual understanding between the people of Vietnam and Russia is seen as an integral part of bilateral relations for the two countries.
