Russia) and 40,000 Vietnamese engineers and workers participated in the
construction of the plant, contributing to the country’s industrialisation and modernisation.
After the trip, the delegation is expected to introduce Hoa Binh to
international friends, especially Russian tourists.
On behalf of the delegation, Ambassador
Konstantin Vnukov thanked the host for their warm welcome. He said this visit
was not his first in Hoa Binh and each gave him a different feeling. Hoa Binh
is not only marked as the place of special friendship between people of the two
countries, but also as a place of charming natural landscape and great tourism
potential, he said.
The Russian Embassy will work to bring
more foreign tourists, including Russian visitors, to Vietnam and Hoa Binh province.
On the occasion, leaders of the tourism
departments of Hoa Binh and Hanoi presented souvenirs to the Russian Ambassador
and staff members of the embassy.
Afterwards, the delegation paid a visit to
Ke hamlet in Hien Luong commune (Da Bac district), met with families operating
homestay services and watched traditional art performances. The delegation then
