The events form part of a series of activities celebrating the 14th National Party Congress and the 76th anniversary of the Viet Nam–Russia diplomatic relations (1950–2026).
At the ceremony, Russian Ambassador Gennady Bezdetko formally handed over the photos to the relic site. The collection comprises 30 rare archival photos depicting President Ho Chi Minh’s ties with Russia and the formation and development of Viet Nam–Russia diplomatic relations.
The exhibition “President Ho Chi Minh and Russia” features 76 panels that portray 76 years of friendship and cooperation between Viet Nam and Russia, built on foundations laid by President Ho Chi Minh.
Speaking at the event, Deputy Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism Hoang Dao Cuong expressed sincere thanks to the Russian Embassy for the valuable donation, noting its significance as a vivid testament to the faithful friendship between the two peoples and its contribution to enriching the relic site’s archives.
He affirmed his ministry's desire to continue close cooperation with Russian agencies and organisations, effectively implement signed cooperation programmes, and expand innovative exchange formats, thereby deepening the Viet Nam–Russia relationship in a practical and effective manner.
