To prepare for the program, 40 students from Dien Bien province’s Boarding High School for Ethnic Minorities have been selected for a Russian language course supported by the University of Technology and Management. The course, from February 24 to May 15, consists of 80 sessions, focusing on conversational Russian, along with Russian culture, dances, and songs tailored for high school students.
Tran Quoc Cuong, Secretary of the Dien Bien provincial Party Committee, highlighted the significance of this initiative, calling it an important milestone in the students’ journey to explore the Russian culture and language - one of the most influential languages in world history, science, and culture.
Learning Russian not only helps them understand the country better but also opens doors to new academic and international exchange opportunities, he noted.
Cuong also emphasized that the students' participation in this program demonstrates their enthusiasm for learning, cultural exchange, and strengthening the bond between Dien Bien and Saint Petersburg, as well as between Vietnam and Russia.
Ca Hoang Viet, a Thai ethnic student representing the 40 participants, expressed his pride and excitement to join the Russian language course, saying through the program, he and his peers hope to gain a deeper understanding of Russia, a country with a rich historical heritage and unique cultural traditions.
