Speaking at the event, Nikolai Kudriavtsev, acting head of the International Cooperation Department of the Russian Ministry of Education, stated that in 2025, Vietnam and Russia will celebrate the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations.

Each year, Russia grants Vietnam 1,000 scholarships to its leading universities. According to 2022-2023 data, about 3,000 Vietnamese students are studying in the Land of White Birch. According to Mr. Kudriavtsev, it is not only necessary to train highly specialized human resources, but also important is the output for human resources and the cooperation of schools in the above association is also aimed at carrying out this task.

Prokofiev also believes that by joining the Association, member educational institutions will be able to improve their training quality as well as contribute to the development of relations between the two countries.

For his part, President of Ho Chi Minh University of Economics Nguyen Dong Phong said that for a long time, Vietnam's economic and financial universities have established individual cooperative relationships with Russian universities of the same major, but expanding the Association and establishing a joint cooperative organization is a strategic step, not only increasing resources but also raising the level of the organization, aiming to solve global challenges through educational and research cooperation. He believes that today's event marks the beginning of a new phase of cooperation and is an important foundation to deepen the friendship and cooperation between Vietnam and Russia.

Also at this meeting, representatives of the Ho Chi Minh University of Economics, Banking Academy, University of Economics - National University, Hanoi University of Finance and Banking signed a Memorandum of Understanding on joining the Association.
