On August 28 in Hanoi, President of the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations Nguyen Phuong Nga awarded the Medal "For peace and friendship between nations" to Ambassador Yerlan Baizhanov for his contribution to the bilateral relations between the two countries.

Aiming for the interests of the two countries' people

Ambassador Yerlan Baizakhnov began his working term in Vietnam in March 2019. He enthusiastically participated in foreign affairs activities of the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations, implementing cultural diplomacy and people-to-people diplomacy activities.

During the Ambassador's term, the Vietnamese people had more opportunities to understand more about the history, culture, and people of Kazakhstan.

Many literary and cinematographic works of Kazakhstan have been introduced to the Vietnamese people with Vietnamese translations.

The two sides had direct flights to each other instead of having to go through many connecting flights across countries.

This creates conditions for about 10,000 Kazakh tourists to visit Vietnam each year. Citizens of each country are also exempt from visas to enter, exit, transit, and temporarily reside in the other country's territory for no more than 30 days from the time of entry and no more than 90 days for each 180-day period.

Ambassador Yerlan Baizhanov expressed his honor to receive the medal of the Viet Nam Union of Friendship Organizations of Vietnam awarded by President Nguyen Phuong Nga.
