"Currently, there are many people among the leaders of our country who have received education in the Soviet Union, including at the Leningrad State University. These cadres showed their high qualifications when they withdrew our state from the crisis and successfully carried out economic reforms, "Nguyen An Tuan said.
Moreover, the head of the Vietnamese delegation noted the high level of modern Russian education and the good conditions created for the Vietnamese youth studying in Russia.
On behalf of St. Petersburg, Deputy Chairman of the Committee for External Relations of St. Petersburg, Vyacheslav Kalganov, suggested that the partners establish trilateral cooperation between the City Government, the St. Petersburg State University and the Youth Union of Ho Chi Minh on a systematic basis. In particular, V.G. Kalganov proposed to organize a project to study the memory of the Vietnamese leader first in St. Petersburg, and later with the participation of other regions of Russia.
