exhibition, a round-table seminar on cultural cooperation between the
two countries, a tourism promotion programme and a Vietnamese film week.
Jointly held by Vietnam ’s Ministry of Culture,
Sports and Tourism and Russia ’s Ministry of Culture, it was part of
the regular cultural cooperation between Vietnam and Russia , which
offered a chance for people of both sides to get a deeper understanding
of each other’s cultural identity and artistic beauty.
Earlier, the Vietnamese delegation headed by Minister of Culture,
Sports and Tourism had a meeting with Yaroslav city’s leaders who
highlighted the cooperation potential between the city and Vietnamese
localities, especially in culture and tourism.

During the past 15 years, Yaroslav city has set up ties with many
Vietnamese cities and provinces, especially Da Nang city, while two-way
