During their stay, officers and sailors will participate in sports exchanges with officers and sailors of the Vietnam People’s Navy. They will also visit a number of historical and cultural sites in Nha Trang city, a major tourist destination in central Vietnam.

"Cam Ranh is a very important port for our country. For more than two decades, it faithfully served as a naval base for ships of the Pacific Fleet,” said Timur Sadykov, Russian Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City. 

He went on to say that the regular visits of Russian naval personnel to Vietnamese ports in recent years have “made a significant contribution to strengthening friendship and comprehensive strategic partnership between the two nations in the interests of peace and security in the Asia-Pacific region and around the world.”

The two Russian warships are scheduled to leave Cam Ranh port on December 4.
