The survey result was announced by the centre’sdirector Valery Fedorov at the “Russia-ASEAN” University Forum on thesideline of Eastern Economic Forum which will take place in Vladivostok city, Russia, on September 6and 7.

According to Fedorov, the Russian respondentswere asked to rate five criteria on tangible and intangible culture, tourism,relationships among people, and policies of ASEAN nations. Vietnam got 16 outof 25 points.

The result is attributable to the fact that Vietnamese-madeproducts are being sold in shops across Russia and Vietnamese food restaurantsare popular in Russia, Fedorov said, adding that Vietnam’s beaches also lureRussian tourists.

In addition, the older generations of Russians still rememberVietnam in the anti-US war.
