The Vietnamese Party leader is on a four-day official visit to the Russian Federation where he attended the 80th anniversary celebrations of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War.
The academy is the only educational institution under the direct management of the Russian President. Its predecessor, the Academy of Social Sciences under the Communist Party of the Soviet Union Central Committee, used to provide training for nearly 1,000 senior leaders of Viet Nam, including former General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong.
At the ceremony, RANEPA Rector Alexey Gennadievich Komissarov handed over a copy of a thesis by former General Secretary Nguyen Phu Trong. The leader defended this thesis, which is about the Communist Party of Viet Nam's activities to strengthen relations with the public based on the experience of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, in 1983.
In his remarks delivered at the academy, To highlighted the glorious history and great achievements of the Russian nation and people and the proud development of the bilateral relations, which has affirmed the special role and position of Russia to Viet Nam, including the important contributions of RANEPA.
He expressed his belief that the two nations will continue to accompany each other on the path toward prosperity, wealth, and happiness for their people; and that the bilateral relationship will reach new heights, on par with the historical and cultural stature of each country and the requirements of the times./.
