Moscow (VNA) - The Vietnamese Students’ Association in the Peoples' Friendship University of Russia (RUDN) held an event called "Bamboo Legend” on March 16 to conclude the Vietnamese Culture Week 2024 at the university.
The event drew officials of the Vietnamese Embassy in Russia, representatives of various Vietnamese associations in the country, and a large number of students from Vietnam, Russia, and other countries.
Addressing the event, Sololov Vyacheslav, head of the university’s student management division, said that this is a meaningful activity that helps promote the culture of Vietnam to international friends and contributes to fostering the friendship between Russia and Vietnam.
Mai Nguyen Tuyet Hoa, first Secretary for education at the Vietnamese Embassy, lauded the creativity of Vietnamese students at RUDN and their desire to popularise the nation and people of Vietnam to their peers from other countries.
The event highlighted the image of the Vietnamese bamboo through songs, dances, and other art performances
On the sidelines of the event, an exhibition of souvenirs and demonstrations of Viernamese folk games were also organised to give foreign students a deep insight into the Vietnamese culture./.

The Vietnamese Students’ Association in Russia on March 10 held its first congress, the 2024-2026 tenure, with 160 delegates representing the nearly 5,000 Vietnamese students from over 90 universities in 26 cities across Russia.

The exhibition showcases more than 100 valuable documents and artifacts, divided into two main parts: “Journalist Nguyen Ai Quoc – Ho Chi Minh” and “President Ho Chi Minh – Founder and Mentor of Vietnamese Revolutionary Press.” This is an opportunity to recall the late leader’s journalism journey and affirm his exceptional role in founding and guiding the revolutionary press in Vietnam.
For the first time, the World DanceSport Federation (WDSF) has granted Vietnam hosting rights for the two championships, including the Asian women’s solo category, which debuts this year as an officially recognised event.
Eight teams will join the tournament, divided into two groups. Group A features Vietnam, the Philippines, Sichuan Club (China), and Australia, while Group B consists of Vietnam U21, Korabelka Club (Russia), Taiwan (China), and U21 Thailand.
Despite strong home support and high expectations, Vietnam were unable to overcome the defending champions, who secured their third consecutive win over Vietnam in a regional final, following previous victories in 2014 and 2023.
The event, part of Vietnam’s cultural diplomacy strategy through 2030, was jointly organised by the Vietnamese Embassy in Venezuela and USM’s Faculty of International Relations. It attracted thousands of students from universities across Venezuela.
