Manh said the embassy has closely coordinated with the association of Vietnamese people in Russia as well as organisations and individuals to successfully host activities in the Vietnam-Russia and Russia-Vietnam Friendship Year 2019-2020, including the visits to Russia by Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and National Assembly Chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan.

He extended his best wishes to the overseas Vietnamese community and hoped they will further strengthen solidarity and integrate well in the host society.

Amid the warm and cheerful atmosphere of the Lunar New Year, participants enjoyed Vietnamese traditional foods and art performances.

Earlier, overseas Vietnamese in some Russian localities such as Ufa and Ekaterinburg held Tet celebration activities such as wrapping “chung” cakes (square glutinous rice cake – a traditional Tet food) and organising culture and art programmes to welcome the Year of the Rat.
