The initiative aims to spread messages of love, compassion, humanity, and the importance of the environment and nature, especially during times of adversity and natural disasters.

The Vietnam-Russia Friendship Association in Hanoi, the Pushkin Institute, and the Long Bien District People’s Committee jointly organized this year’s competition.

The contest is one of the highlights commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Hanoi Liberation Day (October 10) and the 75th anniversary of Vietnam-Russia diplomatic relations (1950-2025).

Duong Hoai Nam, Chairman of the Vietnam-Russia Friendship Association in Hanoi, shared that the contest serves as an educational platform for the youth of both countries, fostering a deeper understanding of the strong friendship, solidarity, and bond between Vietnam and the Russian Federation.

“The competition witnessed the participation of 100 students from diverse schools in Hanoi. It provided a unique opportunity for these young artists to express their love for their homeland and the countries of Vietnam and Russia. Additionally, it highlighted Hanoi’s rich heritage as a city of peace, creativity, and heroism,” Nam elaborated at the contest briefing.

In the primary school category, the first prize was awarded to Nguyen Phuc Hung from class 2B at Quoc Oai Town Primary School. Moving to the secondary school category, the first prize was secured by Tran Nguyen Ngan Ha from the Russian Embassy School, while the special prize was bestowed upon Fokina Kaleria, a student at the Russian Secondary School in Vietnam.

Vietnamese Football Club Ordered to Pay $73,000 to Slovakian Team for Player Training Expenses

“We have successfully completed the transfer of fines and compensation to the designated recipient, effectively resolving the issue,” said Ngo Quoc Ta, Chairman of SHB Da Nang FC, a top-tier V-League 1 team in Vietnam, in an interview with Tuoi Tre (Youth) newspaper on Tuesday. “The incident has served as a valuable lesson for our club and other professional football clubs,” Ta added. Bui Xuan Hoa, Ta’s predecessor, attributed the incident to the team’s lack of expertise in the regulations and legal procedures surrounding the transfer of player Pham Thanh Tiep. Tiep, who was born in Slovakia in 1996 and trained at FC Banik Prievidza, a team in the Slovak third-tier league, since the age of 12, joined SHB Da Nang on a trial basis in early 2019 and eventually secured a two-year contract. However, due to a mismatch in playing style, Tiep terminated his contract with SHB Da Nang and reimbursed one year’s worth of the signing fee. According to FIFA regulations, when a club signs a prof...
