Music festival helps promote Vietnam – Russia friendship

A music and fashion festival themed “Canh buom do tham” (Crimson sails) took place in Tuoi Tre Park in Hanoi on October 2, helping connect Russian community living in Vietnam and Vietnamese people studied and worked in Russia.

Hosted by the “Heart of Soviet Russia” club of the Vietnam - Russia Friendship Association of Hanoi, the annual event is intended to provide a venue to connect the Russian community living in Hanoi, and Vietnamese who have studied and worked in Russia.
