Nenetskiy culture shines in Ba Ria-Vung Tau
(VOV) -The Cultural Day of Russia’s Nenetskiy autonomous region was launched in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau on November 18.
The four-day event took place on the occasion of Russian President V. Putin’s Vietnam visit, which concluded a few days ago. It introduced Russian culture in contribution to strengthening the time-honoured friendship, solidarity and comprehensive strategic partnership between the two countries.
Since their official establishment in January 1950, Vietnam-Russia diplomatic ties have continued to grow and flourish through generations of both nations.
The two countries have enjoyed fruitful cooperation in various fields, especially in oil and gas exploration and exploitation, with the Vietnam -Russia Oil and Gas Joint Venture (Vietsovpetro) as a bright spot.
Russia’s Nenetskiy autonomous region and Vietnam’s Ba Ria-Vung Tau province have tightened their relations since the signing of a memorandum of understanding in October 2010.
The ongoing cultural event, which includes many music and dance performances, is expected to help the Vietnamese people know more about the Russian people and their traditional cultural values.
