Scientific symposium on Vietnam held in Moscow
The Institute for Far Eastern Studies (IFES) under the Russian Academy of Sciences is holding a scientific symposium on Vietnam in Moscow on May 19-20.
Opening the symposium, IFES Director Mikhail Titarenko said that this year’s event, the fifth of its kind, focuses on the main theme of “important anniversaries during 2014-15 in Vietnam’s history”.
He noted that the symposium takes place in the context of tension in the East Sea due to a territorial dispute between Vietnam and China, adding that experts on Vietnamese and Chinese studies at the institute are concerned about the situation and call on both sides to restrain and solve all disputes by peaceful means.
Addressing the event, Prof. Do Tien Sam, head of the Institute of Chinese Studies under the Vietnam Academy of Social Sciences, said the period from 2014-2015 will see the anniversaries of many major events in Vietnam’s history, which are extremely important to the country’s development process as well as the national liberation movement and the history of the world.
During the two-day symposium, delegates heard reports on Vietnam’s political, social and cultural issues, its relationship with other countries as well as its language and literature.
The country’s participation in solving international territorial disputes and conflicts was also put on table.
On this occasion, IFES introduced a book in English language, which is a collection of scientific reports by Russian scientists on Vietnam.
