The Russian Federation is an important comprehensive strategic partner in Vietnam's foreign policy.

Education and science and technology are important fields. Many generations of Vietnamese leaders and elite experts have been trained in the Russian Federation and are holding important roles. Vietnam strongly encourages the young generation to focus on science, technology and engineering, especially studying abroad at leading Russian universities, which are ready to provide an advanced learning environment.

To improve the effectiveness of cooperation in the next period, Vietnam proposed that the Russian Federation pay attention to effectively implementing signed agreements; at the same time promoting a number of major orientations such as: strengthening scholarship programs in the fields of basic science, high technology, atomic energy for peaceful purposes, microchips - semiconductors; increasing the number of Russian experts and teachers teaching in Vietnam, and supporting the updating of Russian and Vietnamese language textbooks; speeding up the signing and establishment of cultural centers of the two countries; coordinating the implementation of the 3rd Vietnam - Russia Science and Education Forum in Hanoi in 2026 - Vietnam - Russia Science and Education Year.

Mr. Pavel Shevtsov also expressed his impression that Vietnamese students studying in the Russian Federation are mostly highly motivated to study, always making efforts and trying their best; many Vietnamese students graduate with excellent grades.
