Vietnamese Leader's Wife Visits Russian School, Affirming Educational Ties

On September 9, Mrs. Ngo Phuong Ly, wife of Vietnamese President and General Secretary To Lam, visited School No. 1253 in Russia during the state visit of General Secretary and President To Lam. Mrs. Ly met with the school's administration, teachers, and both Russian and Vietnamese students studying at the institution. This visit served as an opportunity to assess the current state of people-to-people exchanges and cooperation in the education sector between Vietnam and Russia. The visit underscores the importance of educational collaboration within the framework of the comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations. Vietnam and Russia are actively pursuing cooperation in various fields, including strengthening scientific and technological collaboration and enhancing research and development capabilities in epidemic prevention and control. The move to establish strategic technologies as a new pillar of bilateral relations suggests that deepening educational exchanges will contribute to building this comprehensive relationship. Under its one-party system, Vietnam continues to pursue economic growth while prioritizing the strengthening of international relations. Cooperation with Russia, built on long-standing friendly ties, holds a significant position in Vietnam's foreign policy. Educational exchanges are considered an essential element for fostering mutual understanding among future generations and ensuring the sustained development of bilateral relations.
