At the event, via a video message, FA Rector Prokofiev emphasized that this year marks a time full of significant milestones, including the 80th anniversary of the victory over fascism, the 50th anniversary of Vietnam's reunification, and the 75th anniversary of the Russia-Vietnam diplomatic relations.

FA's educational collaboration with Vietnam has developed for over 70 years, with nearly 5,000 Vietnamese financial experts having graduated from the institution, he said.

Over the years, Vietnamese culture has become increasingly recognized, appreciated, and attractive to international friends at the university.

Also sending his message to the program, Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi noted that the cultural aspect of international cooperation has been notably championed at an education establishment. The experiences of traditional crafts, cuisine introduction, artistic products, and performances have helped Russian audiences gain a better understanding of the Vietnamese national spirit, long-standing traditions, and achievements in the modern era.

The Vietnam Day event is not just a cultural showcase but also a meaningful bridge of friendship during this anniversary year, he added.

There are 165 Vietnamese students studying at the FA. Their academic achievements and integration into the university's communal life have been recognized by the institution's leadership. This statement was made by Ekaterina Popova, head of the FA's student affairs department, She added that among the international students from over 90 countries, those from Vietnam have been particularly active in integration and have created their own "brand" with the Vietnam Day, demonstrating the cultural depth that Vietnamese people carry whether at home or abroad.
