Head of the Party Central Committee’s Commission for Mass Mobilization Truong Thi Mai on September 14 visited the Ho Chi Minh Institute of Saint Petersburg University as part of her visit to Russia.
Founded in 2010, the institute is a joint project between Saint Petersburg University and the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (NPA), said Director of the institute Prof. Vladimir Kolotov.
Over the past six years, the two sides have worked together to organize various workshops on President Ho Chi Minh’s thoughts, the outcomes of which were collated into a book published in Russian and Vietnamese.
