Nhan Dan Online/VNA – A delegation from the Vietnamese National Assembly’s Committee for Ethnic Affairs led by its chairman, Ksor Phuoc engaged in a two-day visit to Russia to strengthen bilateral ties.
During their June 26-27 stay in Moscow, the Vietnamese delegation had working sessions with the Russia State Duma committees for ethnic affairs and regional policy and the Russia Federal Council’s advisory council for ethnic affairs.
Both sides shared experience in legislation and social management in the field as well as discussing pathways for future co-operative development.
They noted with pleasure that bilateral relations between Vietnam and Russia had been incessantly nurtured and cemented on the grounds of the comprehensive strategic partnership.
The Vietnamese official highlighted the Party and State’s consistent policy on ethnic affairs, affirming that the country always gave special heed to promoting great national unity, particularly among ethnic minority people, in an effort to keep their cultures, religions and languages alive.
The Russian representatives said that more than 100 nationalities in Russia hoped to deepen their traditional friendship with Vietnamese ethnic groups and increase co-operation and experience sharing, to improve policies for the two countries’ ethnic minority people.
Ksor Phuoc also briefed his hosts about recent developments in the East Sea after China illegally placed its oil rig in Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone and continental shelf in early May.
He said he hoped that the Russian deputies, through global co-operation channels, will take an active part in settling the issue peacefully with respect for international law.
