Le Huynh Duc, President of the association’s provisional executive board, emphasized that the congress is a particularly important event for Vietnamese youths in Russia, marking the birth of the association after many years of building and developing the student movement in the country.

This congress also has great significance as 2024 marks 70 years of the Vietnamese government officially sending students to the Soviet Union, now Russia, for training. Since then, more than 100,000 Vietnamese officials, students, experts, and people have been trained in Russia.

Vietnamese Ambassador Dang Minh Khoi expressed his belief that the association will help manage and connect Vietnamese students in Russia.

At the congress, a 27-strong executive board and a nine-member secretariat of the association were set up. Ambassador Khoi and Do Xuan Hoang were elected honorary presidents of the association.
