Participants at the event noted that Vietnam and Russia share similarities in the implementation of activities bolstering patriotism among young people via events on history and youth forums.

As voluntary events are rolled out annually in Saint Petersburg, the Russian side voiced its hope that Vietnamese representatives will join the events online. In addition, a project to speed up Russia-Vietnam trade has been introduced in a bid to connect young entrepreneurs of the two countries and support startups.
