Russian tourist arrivals in Vietnam doubled last year, according to Vyacheslav Volodin, the Russian State Duma speaker of the house. Volodin is paying an official visit to Vietnam as the head of a State Duma delegation and stated, “We can see the interest of Russian citizens in Vietnam growing. The number of tourists doubled last year.”
He was speaking at the fourth meeting of the Commission for Inter-Parliamentary Cooperation between the State Duma and the Russian National Assembly.
However, he made some observations: “A legal foundation needs to be laid for a more dynamic development of this destination, which citizens of both countries will gain. This requires that parliament members do a more effective job so that people who choose to spend their vacations in Vietnam or Russia lack for nothing.”
Demand for learning the Russian and Vietnamese languages has also grown, Volodin said. “A lot is being done in this area. We believe it would be right to expand humanitarian cooperation, including that in education, culture, and tourism. This is particularly important as 2026 has been declared a year of Russian-Vietnamese cooperation in science and education.”
