Bui Ngoc Lam, Director of the Hoa Binh Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism presents a Muong gong to the Embassy of Russia.

At a working session, Director of the provincial Department of Culture, Sports and Tourism Bui Ngoc Lam stressed the long-term friendship between Russia and Vietnam and Hoa Binh province in particular, as well as the province’s tourism potential and strengths.

The Hoa Binh hydropower plant, built on the Da river, is a construction of the century and a proof of the friendship between the two countries. More than 1,300 experts from the Soviet Union (currently 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 came back to Hoa Binh city to visit the Hoa Binh hydropower plant./.
